Titanopsis Calcarea (Living Jewel)

Planting

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Titanopsis thrive best in a coarse, well-drained substrate. Plants grown in strong light will develop hard strongly coloured skins which are resistant to damage and rot, although persistent overwatering will still be fatal. The best place to grow the more popular species, is a sunny spot where it gets bright sunlight in summer and direct exposure to the sun in winter.
