NOTE

Colours of the succulents will vary from season to season as well as what you view on the website

All plants are dry rooted before shipping to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition. Therefore pots are not included in the order.

Grower: spring to summer growers, during colder seasons, keep indoors

Light: medium sun to light shade, in the hottest time of summer this plant seeks more shade than blazing sun

Water: during winter rather keep to the dry side due to the dormancy period. In hotter months water well once per week, but when cloudy or a moist atmosphere due to rain, refrain from watering. Fertilise every 4 weeks in the growing season

Soil type: 50% potting substrate and 50% gritty mix to ensure friability, good drainage and to be able to retain some moisture necessary for take-up of xylem (water) and phloem (food).  Phloem transports sucrose and amino acids from the leaves and other parts (organs) of the plant
