Fertilizing

Very dilute low-nitrogen succulent feed monthly in warm growth

Propagation

Propagate by seed or take rosette stem-tip softwood cuttings in early summer; wait until calluses have formed, then insert in sandy compost and in moderate light at 18°C, and keep just moist until rooted

Growing

Grow under glass in a loam-based potting compost with added extra grit. Water moderately when in growth, not at all when dormant. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser 2 or 3 times in the growing season; for more advice see houseplant cacti and succulent cultivation
