Orostachys spinosus

continental : Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of solar rays.
These plants fear the cold weather, but when the summer begins we can cultivate them outdoors.

alpine : These plants love very sunny positions, which are directly exposed to sunrays even for many hours a day.
During the summer it is possible to cultivate the the Orostachys spinosus in the garden or on the terrace.

mediterranean : These plants can be placed in a very bright place, possibly sunny, directly under the solar rays for a few hours a day.
We advise cultivating these plants outdoors only during the summer months, because they are seriously damaged by minimum temperatures below 15°C.

continental : The Orostachys spinosus needs very frequent watering; during this period of the year we advise watering even every 1-2 weeks using 4-5 glasses of water, trying to keep the substratum always slightly damp.

alpine : We advise frequent watering, every 2-3 weeks using 3-4 glasses of water, so that the soil is always a bit humid.

mediterranean : The watering must be very regular and frequent, using 5-6 glasses of water, so that the soil is always slightly damp, avoiding excesses and water stagnation. A good rule is to wet every 0-1 weeks.

Fertilize Orostachys spinosus : We advise a regular fertilization, to be done every 15-20 days, always using a specific fertilizer for succulent plants, poor in nitrogen.

Pests Orostachys spinosus : During the summer months it is best to apply precise treatments, specifically against each type of parasite, to be used only when we have already noticed the presence of fungus or insects on our plants; these treatments should be applied during the coolest hours of the day. In general during this period of the year an infesting of ticks and rust is very likely to occur, because its development is favoured by dry climates.
