Plant in a good free draining media mix of compost, 50% grit and 50% sharp sand.

They will cope with periods of dry, but will flourish with a regular small amount of water. As they produce their young from side shoots, pick off about 50% and transplant, leaving some to create the carpet. At some point the mother plant will send out a stunning flower shoot to enjoy. After flowering typically the mother plant will die, but another will replace.

Use a very dilute feed, 2 or 3 times a year , or use a slow release granule feed.
