Origen
Matorral rocoso de Sudáfrica
Descripción
Descubierta por la botánica holandesa Sra. R. Leendertz, esta fantástica suculenta de fácil cultivo proviene de matorrales rocosos de Sudáfrica. A finales del verano pueden florecer flores grandes que tienen un aspecto fantástico: en su tierra natal no hay abejas polinizadoras, por lo que las moscas hacen el trabajo, lo que significa que las flores han desarrollado un olor, bueno, no bueno. Pero no te preocupes, tienes que acercarte mucho para captar el olor y hay un gran truco si les dices a tus amigos que se acerquen para olerlo.
Luz
Le gusta la luz brillante y directa.
Agua
Deje que la tierra se seque completamente entre riegos. Reduzca considerablemente el riego en invierno.
Humedad
No le gusta la alta humedad.
Suelo
Utilice una mezcla de tierra de buen drenaje con abundante arena o gravilla.
Alimento
Puede beneficiarse de una alimentación ligera a finales de primavera/verano.
Temperatura
Puede tolerar las altas temperaturas del verano, pero está bien cuando la temperatura baja en invierno siempre que haya suficiente luz.
Apto para mascotas
No, esta planta es tóxica para las mascotas y los humanos pequeños.
Consejos principales para los brotes
Esta planta se puede mantener afuera durante finales de primavera o principios de verano y esto debería estimular la floración de la planta. Intenta no mover la planta cuando tenga cogollos ya que esto puede impedir que florezca.
