Flowering

From Mid Autumn TO Early Spring

This plant can flower during the fall and wintertime months. It may decide to terminate its adult form after flowering and propagate itself via offsets.

 

Establishing Plant

From Early Autumn TO Late Winter

Unless absolutely necessary, repot plants during their active growing season only. Plant into free draining soil and allow a few days to pass before watering. Water once per week until the plant is established in the plot, then water as needed.
