Othonna auriculifolia 5 Pieces Seeds

Othonna auriculifolia 5 Pieces Seeds 

Package: 5  seeds

Requires maximum full sun to partial sun exposure during its winter active growth window. Insufficient light will cause the flat leaf rosette to stretch, weaken, and lose its unique blue-green, curled morphology.

Provide moderate, thorough watering in autumn and winter when foliage is present, always allowing the gritty substrate to dry out completely between sessions. Stop watering completely in the summer dormancy. Any moisture surrounding the sleeping tuber during summer heat will cause instant, irreversible fungal rot.

Demands a sharply free-draining, slightly acidic-to-neutral mineral mix. Combine pumice, perlite, and coarse sand or decomposed granite grit with a minimal fraction of organic matter. Always plant in a deep clay pot to provide ample vertical room for its long, descending tuberous root system.

 It showcases notable resilience to thermal changes, safely handling summer heat up to 100°F (38°C) if shaded, and surviving short cold snaps if kept bone-dry. However, in cultivation, it should be overwintered in a frost-free greenhouse or a bright, cold windowsill.
