Orostachys spinosus

Fertilize Orostachys spinosus : During the colder months of the year we recommend interrupting the fertilization of succulent plants, to avoid them from producing too many “new” tissues, which aren’t very resistant to the cold temperatures and are easily attacked by fungal diseases, which develop more easily during the period of rest of the plant.

continental : The Orostachys spinosus needs direct sunlight, even for many hours a day.
During the autumnal months we can leave the the Orostachys spinosus outdoors, only until the minimum temperatures are above 15°C; when the climate is cooler let’s move the the Orostachys spinosus in an apartment or greenhouse.

alpine : These plants prefer very sunny locations, where they are exposed to sunrays for most of the day.
These plants can’t tolerate minimum temperatures below 15°C, therefore in autumn they are grown in the apartment.

mediterranean : This plant needs to be exposed to direct solar rays.
The Orostachys spinosus are grown in a sheltered place or in the apartment; if the climate is mild, with minimum temperatures above 15°C, they can be moved outdoors.

continental : We suggest watering quite frequently, every 2-3 weeks. In this manner it will be kept fairly moist, without being soaked with water. Usually 225-226 glasses of water are used.

alpine : Watering should be done pretty frequently and regularly, but without exceeding: let’s remember to we the soil thoroughly and let it dry before giving it more water. Let’s irrigate every 3-4 weeks using 224-225 glasses of water.

mediterranean : Watering in this period of the year must be very frequent, even every 1-2 weeks, so that the soil is always slightly damp. For average dimension plants we suggest using about 226-227 glasses of water.
