|
About me: |
|
I am really hardy, I produce an orange tubular flower once a year and I am evergreen. Not bad at all for a small plant like me! |
| Origin: |
| I am native to the mountain grasslands of Lesotho and southern Africa. |
| Temperature: |
|
I'm not really fussy and I should be able to cope with most temperatures. |
| Water: |
|
Only water me when my soil feels dry to the touch because I am draught resistant. |
| Height/Growth: |
|
I can grow up to 30cm in height with a spread of around 40-60cm. But don't you worry I am not in rush and I grow slowly.
|
| Feed: |
|
Feed me a balanced succulent fertiliser 2 or 3 times in the growing season |
| Care: |
|
Re-pot me every couple of year in a mix of well drained, gritty soil. |
| Toxicity: |
|
Don't eat me, this could cause severe discomfort! |
