Temperature:
Hardy to frost and can tolerate temperatures as low as -15°C. Thrives in cool to warm climates.

Humidity:
Prefers dry conditions. Avoid excess humidity, especially in containers.

Fertilizing:
Feed sparingly. Use a diluted succulent fertilizer in spring if needed.

Potting & Containers:
Perfect for pots, rockeries, and shallow containers. Ensure excellent drainage.

Propagation:
Easily propagated through offsets (“chicks”) that form around the mother plant.

Maintenance:
Low maintenance. Remove dead leaves and spent rosettes after flowering
