How to Care for the Plant

Water
The container should be at least 10 cm deep to accommodate the long taproot. Very little water is needed during the growing season, and we do not fertilize the plants. In late summer to early fall, before nighttime temperatures fall, watering of the plants is stepped up to once a week.
Pruning
Dead leaves and bloom stems
Fertilizer
Light fertilization can be provided, but only during the active growth period of the succulent. Once autumn approaches, it’s best to discontinue all fertilization and water with clean water only. Whether or not you should fertilize the succulent also depends on its age
