1 Gallon Cotyledon orbiculata var. oophyla “Lady Fingers”

Light Requirement: Full sun to light shade but it flowers best in full sun.Water needs: Very drought tolerant but some water during the growing season is beneficial. Note that plants are best watered from below to avoid washing off the attractive white, waxy protective leaf coating.Maintenance: Remove spent flower stalks as desired.Uses: Excellent massed in rock, cactus and succulent gardens or as a low-to-medium height xeriscape ground cover. Also works well in containers.Propagation: From seed but also is easy to increase by cuttings which root freely. It is also possible to plant the leaves in good, sandy soil where they will take root. The best time to sow the seed is in spring, and they should be kept moist, not waterlogged. Once the seedlings have reached an inch in size they can be transplanted.Problems: Requires good draining soils to avoid root rot
