Sunlight
It thrives in full sun as long as the leaves are somewhat buried. In the wintertime, keep Frithia in a brightly lighted dry location.
Soil
This plant naturally grows in rocky soil and is in its element sinking its roots into the cracks between rocks and rough, loose gravel. Therefore, the soil should be sharply draining and quite coarse.
Temperature
Frithia can tolerate a vast range of temperatures from quite cold to very hot, but it’s important to note this is because in nature the leaves are mostly buried under the soil. In your home setting, you should strive to keep a reasonably consistent, comfortable temperature for your plant.
