Avonia quinaria
Avonia quinaria is a dwarf perennial succulent that typically grows flush with the soil surface. It seldom grows over 2.5cm above ground. However some exceptional plants found in nature exceed 10 cm in diameter and could be several centuries years old. Avonia grow very slowly and requires careful cultivation. They enjoy a gritty free-draining soil with added organic material and low to moderate watering.

Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Avonia need good draining soil. When planting in the garden, make sure the area drains well and is not in a hollow that remains wet. Specially prepared cactus soil can be purchased for planting in pots or incorporate sand, gravel or volcanic rock for better drainage. The container you are planting in should have a drainage hole and it is wise to put crushed rock at the bottom before your planting medium.
