What is a key lime pie plant? These South African natives have plump, fan-shaped leaves edged with crinkles that take on a reddish tint in bright light. Key lime pie plant (Adromischus cristatus) displays rusty reddish-brown aerial roots and clusters of green, tube-shaped flowers bloom atop 8-inch stems in spring and early summer. You may know key lime pie plants as crinkle leaf succulent plants. Whatever you choose to call these tough little plants, key lime pie plant propagation is about as easy as it gets. Read on to learn about propagation of Adromischus succulents.
How to Propagate Key Lime Pie Succulents Hold a lower leaf and wiggle it gently until it comes loose from the parent plant. Be sure the leaf is intact and doesn’t tear. Set the leaf aside for a few days until the end dries out and forms a callus. Without a callus, the leaf absorbs too much moisture and is likely to rot and die. Fill a small pot with potting soil formulated for cacti and succulents. Lay the callused leaf on top of the potting soil. (Don’t worry if the ends don’t touch the soil, the leaves will still root.) Place the pot in bright, indirect light. Avoid intense sunlight. Mist the potting soil very lightly with a spray bottle whenever the soil is dry.
Key Lime Pie Plant Care Like most succulents, established key lime pie plants require little attention. Plant them in full sunlight and well-drained soil. However, a little afternoon shade is helpful in very hot climates. Water the plant regularly during the growing season – whenever the soil is dry and the leaves begin to look slightly shrunken. Don’t overwater, as all succulents are prone to rot in soggy conditions. Water sparingly during the winter months. Key lime pie plant is hardy to 25 F. (-4 C.). In cooler climates, the plant does well indoors.

The Sceletium tortuosum plant, commonly called kanna, is a succulent blooming ground cover used for mass coverage in areas where other plants often fail. Growing kanna plants hold the moisture necessary to live through the driest of summers. However, an Internet search indicates the plant is not used primarily as an ornamental.
Information about Kanna Plants According to some info, kanna is used medicinally in its native Cape Provinces of South Africa as a mood elevator and anti-depressant. South Africans chew the plant, which is also said to aid in weight loss and to quell the addictions of smoking and alcoholism. Some have called it the “happy plant.” This plant is also used in teas and tinctures and is sometimes even smoked along with other herbs. Unfortunately, kanna plant is not often grown in cultivation and information about kanna plants says it is dying out in the wild. One source encourages growers to attempt growing kanna plants so they can be saved from extinction. Kanna plant care is exacting when plants are young, though becomes minimal as the plants mature. Information about kanna plants indicates it is a low growing shrub related to the ice plant. Attractive flowers vary in color from white to yellow and occasionally pale orange or pink. Blooms of the Sceletium tortuosum plant are spiky and appear similar to blooms of the spider mum.
Growing Kanna Plants Seeds for this plant are readily available online. If you are able to acquire already sprouted seedlings, the growth process will move along more quickly. Seeds may take several weeks to a few months to germinate. Be patient. Plant seeds into a sandy cactus type mix. Press seeds into moistened sand, cover and place in a warm, brightly lit spot. Keep the soil moist.
How to Care for Kanna Plant Seedlings Once seeds have sprouted and have two sets of true leaves, scoop up the clump, along with a good amount of surrounding soil, and plant out into a small container. New growth of the young Sceletium tortuosum plant often attracts aphids. Go ahead and treat for aphids before the pests become a problem. A homemade, soapy spray is an effective means of kanna plant care pest control. Seedlings need less water and soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. Though this plant is not a cactus, when learning how to care for kanna plant, you’ll find that it benefits from similar care. Seedlings benefit from bright light, but avoid direct sun until the plants are moved outside. The kanna plant can be planted into a bigger container or into similar soil outdoors when all danger of frost is past. When growing kanna in areas with winter freezes, lift rhizomes and store for the winter. Container grown plants can be moved into a greenhouse or garage where temperatures remain above freezing.

Sweet, quirky little succulents in the garden add charm and ease of care, whether grown in-ground or in containers. Jovibarba is a member of this group of plants and produces compact rosettes of fleshy leaves. What is Jovibarba? You can think of these tiny plants as another form of hens and chicks, but for all its similarities in appearance, the plant is a separate species. However, it is in the same family, sharing identical site preferences and an almost indistinguishable appearance.
Difference Between Sempervivum and Jovibarba Some of the easiest and most adaptable plants available are succulents. Many of these are even hardy specimens which can live in United States Department of Agriculture zone 3. Jovibarba hens and chicks are not Sempervivum, a genus that includes hens and chicks and several other succulent species. They have been defined as a separate genus and while they have similar appearance and share a common name, they reproduce quite differently and produce distinctive flowers. Just like Sempervivum, Jovibarba care is simple, straightforward and easy. The differences between these two plants go farther than simple scientific and DNA classification. In most sites, growing Jovibarba plants instead of Sempervivum is an interchangeable option. Both need sunny, dry locations and produce singular rosettes with blushed leaves. This is where similarities stop, however. Sempervivum flowers are star shaped in tones of pink, white or yellow. Jovibarba hens and chicks develop bell-shaped blooms in yellow hues. Sempervivum produce pups on stolons. Jovibarba can reproduce with pups on stolons or amongst the leaves. The stems, which attach the pups to the mother plant (or hen), are brittle and dry with age. The pups then easily detach from the parent, get blown or moved away and root in a new site. This gives Jovibarba species the name “rollers” due to the pups’ (or hens) ability to roll away from the hen. Most of the species of Jovibarba are alpine species. Jovibarba hirta is one of the largest of the species with several sub-species. It has a large rosette with burgundy and green leaves, and produces many pups nestled in the rosette. All Jovibarba plants will take 2 to 3 years from maturity before flowering. The parent rosette dies back after bloom but not before numerous pups have been produced.
Growing Jovibarba Plants Plant these succulents in rockeries, tiered gardens and well-draining containers. The most important items when learning how to care for Jovibarba and its relatives are good drainage and protection from drying winds. Most species thrive even where snow is common and can withstand temperatures of -10 degrees Fahrenheit (-23 C.) or more with some shelter. The best soil for Jovibarba is a mixture of compost with vermiculite or sand added for increased drainage. They can even grow in small gravel. These cute little plants thrive in poor soil and are drought tolerant for short periods of time once established. However, for best growth, supplemental water should be given several times per month in summer. For the most part, they do not need fertilizer but may benefit from a little bone meal in spring. Jovibarba care is minimal, and they actually thrive on benevolent neglect. Once rosettes have flowered and died back, pull them out of the plant group and either install a pup in the place or fill in with soil mixture. The flower stalk is generally still attached to the dead or dying rosette and simply pulling that will remove the rosette.

The structural craziness of Crassula marnieriana makes it a standout plant for any grower’s collection. The succulent is known by many names, among them: Worm plant Chinese jade Jade necklace vine Baby necklace Lucky for us colder clime growers, this plant is hardy and can even withstand a light freeze. The genus Crassula may exceed 200 species. Crassula marnieriana is one of the most unique with vertical stacked thick leaves adorned on the edges with blushed pink. Here are a few tips on how to grow a jade necklace and experience the architectural beauty and Dr. Seuss form of the worm plant.
Jade Necklace Vine Info Succulent lovers are probably familiar with the family of Crassula plants. Many of them are notable for their strange shapes and unusual stacked leaves. Crassula worm plants exemplify the fantastical structure of a living necklace, with stacked leaves placed perfectly one on top of the other. Words almost fail when trying to describe Crassula worm plants. Smaller specimens have erect, slender branches decorated with tiles of succulent leaves growing right on top of each other. Stems will rarely get longer than 8 inches, but the longer sections tend to droop and hang or even simply trail along the ground. Jade necklace vine is native to South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland. Leaves are green with pink to rose edges, plump and tightly stacked on the stem much like beads on a string. If you are lucky, the plant produces tiny starry clusters of pinkish blooms.
How to Grow a Jade Necklace The jade necklace worm plant is also a very easy plant to grow, provided you have enough sun and satisfy a few other conditions. Jade necklace worm plant is one of the easiest succulents to propagate and well worth the effort to create more of these eye-catching plants. As with most succulents, you can start new plants simply by cuttings. Seeds are available but adult forms of the plant take many years to grow. Cuttings should be allowed to callus for a few days to prevent rot. Then, simply insert the cutting into sand or other soilless media and keep moderately moist in a brightly lit area that is protected from scorching sun. Roots should form in just a few weeks. Once the plant is sufficiently established, it may be moved to a well-drained pot in good cactus or succulent soil. The next step is to follow good worm plant care so your new baby will thrive and delight you with a show of flowers and festively adorned stems.
Jade Necklace Worm Plant Care Crassulas prefer sunny locations but they can tend to burn if in scorching sun’s rays. Jade necklace is resistant to drought and all but the coldest weather, so it makes a perfect patio plant for most regions. If freezes threaten, bring your plant indoors. The best soil is a well-drained mixture of sand or grit with peat and vermiculite or perlite. Choose a pot that evaporates excess moisture since wet roots and stems can spell a death sentence for Crassula. In summer, water the plant deeply every week and in winter water only once every 3 weeks. During the growing season, use a fertilizer formulated for succulents to promote health. Transplant the plant only when it outgrows its pot. Crassula are very tolerant of crowded conditions and can be very happy in their container for many years. Watch for mealybugs or scale and treat the plant with a good horticultural soap. Crassula plants need good air circulation to prevent mildew issues, but other than that these are some of the hardiest and easiest plants to grow. Add one to your collection for easy care beauty and interest.

Plant enthusiasts are always on the look-out for an unusual and amazing specimen. Huernia zebrina, or Lifesaver plant, is one of the best in this category. Lifesaver cactus plants are easy to grow in small dish gardens or even bonsai containers. The biggest challenges with Huernia cactus care are overwatering, incorrect lighting and mealybugs. Let’s go through some guidelines on how to grow a Lifesaver cactus and, hopefully, get some of the blooms for which it is named.
Lifesaver Cactus Plants Lifesaver plants can produce amazing 5-pointed, star-like blooms with zebra stripes and a thickened center that resembles a root beer flavored Lifesaver. If this isn’t enough to intrigue you, they have fascinating 4-sided stems with soft teeth along the edges. In lower light situations, these are deeply green, but they attain a reddish tinge in full sun. These are not frost hardy but you can try growing Huernia cactus on the patio in summer with some protection from midday sun. Succulents, like cactus, are some of the easiest plants to care for and provide a range of texture and form for any gardener’s taste. Growing Huernia cactus as houseplants is preferred for most regions of the country, as they are not tolerant of cold weather.
How to Grow a Lifesaver Cactus Choose a well-draining container, preferably one that is unglazed and will allow evaporation of excess moisture. Use a good cactus mix or make your own blend of 1 part potting soil and 4 parts gritty material. Lighting is of special concern with Huernia cactus care. They grow under plants in their native range and can exhibit stress if grown in searing heat and light. Try an eastern or western window that is bright most of the day but doesn’t experience the hottest rays of the day. A sensible watering schedule is key to caring for Huernia. As with most succulents, the plant is prone to rot if it is too wet, but it does need supplemental water during its growing season. In winter, the plant hardly needs water at all, just once per month on average, as it is mostly dormant and not actively producing growth. In spring through summer, water the plant when the soil is dry to the touch. Make sure any saucer you have is emptied of water to prevent root rot. Another important part of Huernia cactus care is temperature. If you are growing the plant outside, it should be moved indoors if temperatures drop to 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 C.). Pests are rarely a problem, but occasionally mealybugs can become a concern. Repot any purchased plants and spray with a 1:10 dilution of rubbing alcohol and water. Additional Info on Caring for Huernia Cactus You will rarely need to repot your Lifesaver plant. They prefer a slightly crowded environment and this will also keep a tight, compact plant. Change the soil every two years, but you can usually keep the same pot. Cactus plants, in general, benefit from supplemental feeding during their growing season. Gradually increase the amount of water you give the plant in April or May. At this time, feed the plant with a 15-15-15 liquid plant food once per month diluted by half. Stop fertilizing in late August to prevent new growth from forming while the plant goes into dormancy. Huernia zebrina doesn’t really need pruning unless you want a smaller plant. You can save the cuttings, let them callus for a few days and then pot them up to create new plants. This is a really easy and fun little plant to grow and enjoy, season after season.

Hens and chicks are members of the Sempervivum group of succulent plants. They are commonly called houseleeks and grow well indoors and out, in cool or hot temperatures. Hens and chicks plants are so called because of the rosette shape and habit of the plant to produce numerous babies. A rockery or dry, nutrient challenged location is a good place for growing hens and chicks. An easy to care for garden scheme should include hens and chicks, sedum and sprawling rock cress.
Using Hens and Chicks Plants Hens and chicks (Sempervivum tectorum) is an alpine plant, which gives it an amazing tolerance for poor soils and unwelcoming conditions. The mother plant is attached to the babies (or chicks) by an underground runner. The chicks may be as small as a dime and the mother can grow to the size of a small plate. Hens and chicks make excellent container plants both for the interior and exterior of the home.
How to Grow Hens and Chicks Growing hens and chicks is easy. The plants are readily available in most nurseries. They require full sun and well drained, even gritty soil. Hens and chicks don’t need much fertilizer and should rarely be watered. As succulents, hens and chicks plants are accustomed to very little water. A fun project is learning how to grow hens and chicks from the offsets. The chick can be gently pulled off the mother plant and installed in a new location. Hens and chicks require very little soil and can be made to grow even in rock crevasses. The ideal temperature for hens and chicks is between 65 and 75 F. (18-24 C.). When temperatures zoom upwards or plummet down, the plants become semi-dormant and will cease growing. Potted plants can be placed in clay pots with a cactus or succulent mix. You can also make your own with two parts topsoil, two parts sand and one part perlite. Potted plants will need more fertilizer than those in the ground. A liquid fertilizer diluted by half should be watered in during spring and summer irrigation. You can also grow hens and chicks from seed. Online nurseries carry an amazing array of varieties and seeding your own will give you many forms for you and your friends. Seed is sown in a cactus mix and misted until evenly damp, then the seeds are kept in a warm room until germination. After germination, some fine gravel is sprinkled around the plants to help conserve moisture. Seedlings will need to be misted every few days and grown in a bright sunny window. Transplant them after they have reached an inch in diameter. Hens and chicks plants need little care. The mother plant will die off after four to six years and should be removed. The plants produce a flower when mature and these should be pulled off the plant when they expire. Divide the chicks from the mother plant at least every two years to prevent overcrowding.

Gardeners who take the “no fuss” approach will love sempervivium plants. Sempervivum care and maintenance are almost task free and their lovely rosettes and hardy nature are stand outs among the garden. Not only do the plants thrive on neglect but they produce offsets, or new plants, every season that are simple to separate and grow as new specimens. Read on to get some sempervivum information and learn how to grow and care for these amazing plants.
Sempervivum Information Plants that take a lot to grow, such as orchids, are a collector’s dream but their fussiness and specific needs take a lot of time and energy to sustain. For us lazy gardeners, sempervivum offers unique form and beauty without any of the effort. Try growing these succulent plants on a rockery, vertical wall or even on driftwood. Sempervivum growing conditions are only limited by good drainage and sunlight. So you say you have a hot, dry spot in the garden with rocky or gritty soil and low fertility? What should you plant? This sounds like perfect sempervivum growing conditions. Not only can these fun little alpine succulents thrive in sites that would make most other plants faint, but they multiply and flower with ease. Sempervivum produces rosettes in a host of hues. They are low growing and adaptable to most soils but prefer full sun and a well-draining medium. Many of the varieties produce star-shaped flowers in pink, red or occasionally yellow. The spiky leaves are trimmed with green, red, purple or even shrouded in fine gossamer hairs. For sheer diversity of form, size and color, these plants are excellent in a host of situations.
How to Grow Sempervivum Plants Growing plants from scratch is a fairly easy process with most plants, but if you want to grow sempervivum from seed you will need to know a few tricks. The initial process is easy and similar to any seed. Plant seeds in 2-inch pots on the surface of the soil. Just press them into the soil. The seeds need light to germinate and temperatures of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 C.). If they don’t germinate in 4 to 5 weeks, the experts say to put the pots in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 weeks and repeat the sun and temperature conditions. In most cases, the seed will germinate and you will get tiny rosettes over time. The tricky bit is that when you grow sempervivum from seed, the plants may not be true to form, as they tend to hybridize quite easily. You will still get some fine and interesting plants, just not the same form as the parent. The easiest way to grow sempervivum plants is to separate their offsets. These will be clones of the parent and have a jump start on life. Of course, you can also purchase nursery plants too.
Sempervivum Care and Maintenance Sempervivum plants prefer well-draining compost with 25 to 50 % sand or other grit. They may grow in trays, in ground, or on wood or in rock piles. Once established, the plant’s need no further care – in most cases. The majority of sempervivum are frost hardy but it you prefer to grow a variety that is not, plant it in a pot or flat and move indoors for winter. Sempervivum are monocarpic, which means that once a rosette flowers, it dies. Pull out the dead rosette and fill the hole with gritty soil. The plant will quickly fill in any empty spots with offsets. Note: If you wish to know how to grow sempervivum from seed, you first need to harvest it. Once flowers are spent, a small, dry, seed-filled fruit is produced. Remove these pods and allow the fruit to dry completely before crushing and removing the seeds. Refrigerate or chill the seeds for 4 weeks before sowing.

Hens and chicks have old-time charm and unbeatable hardiness. These little succulents are known for their sweet rosette form and numerous offsets or “chicks.” Do hens and chicks plants bloom? The answer is yes, but it spells demise for the flowering rosette in a life cycle that is unique among plants. Hens and chicks flowers are the plants way of producing seed and a new generation of beguiling succulents.
When Do Hens and Chicks Plants Bloom? A rambunctious clump of hens and chicks have special allure to children and adults alike. The small plants are adaptable and resilient, producing flower-like clusters of varying sized rosettes. Gardeners new to the plants may say, “My hens and chicks are flowering,” and wonder if this is a natural occurrence. Blooms on hens and chicks plants are not only natural but an additional wonder with this fun, diminutive Sempervivum. A rambunctious clump of hens and chicks have special allure to children and adults alike. The small plants are adaptable and resilient, producing flower-like clusters of varying sized rosettes. Gardeners new to the plants may say, “My hens and chicks are flowering,” and wonder if this is a natural occurrence. Blooms on hens and chicks plants are not only natural but an additional wonder with this fun, diminutive Sempervivum.
A blooming hen on a hen and chicks plant is often referred to as a “rooster.” The individual rosettes will begin to elongate and lengthen vertically when it is time to produce flowers. The process lends an alien appearance to the normally low-growing plants, with flower stalks that can get from a few inches up to a foot in length. Removing the budding stem can’t save the rosette. The blooms on hens and chicks plants are a part of a monocarpic process. That means they flower, seed and then die. There is nothing to be done about it so you might as well enjoy the pink, white or yellow flowers with bristling, erect stamen. Their work will soon be done, but the plant should already have produced many smaller rosettes, the future of the line.
Hens and Chicks Flower Care As with the entire plant, hens and chicks flower care consists of neglect. You can leave the bloom until it has finished and the stem and base rosette will dry out and die. Clip off the stem rather than pulling it out of the living cluster or you may end up yanking some of the precious offsets. You may also choose to let nature take its course and leave the dying stem as proof of an interesting life cycle, which will eventually break off and compost in the area. The young chicks will grow larger and fill in any gaps the parent plant made when bidding its fond farewell to this world. So enjoy the flowers and the guarantee of everlasting life this plant has in its offspring.

There are over 60 different families of plants that encompass succulents. Succulents are such a diverse group that you could probably name a shape or form and find a representative succulent. Greenovia succulent is evocative of roses, with similar layered petals and curved form. The rose-shaped succulent called Greenovia dodrentalis is an example of this form and is in the family Crassulaceae. These tiny, rare plants are hard to find, but if you do get a hold of one, make sure you know how to grow greenovia so your unique discovery will thrive.
Greenovia Succulent Info Cacti and succulent aficionados are forever looking for the next new plant and building unique collections. Rose-shaped greenovia is one of those hard to find specimens that many of us would give our eye teeth to own. If you are lucky, you might find them at a specialty online nursery or a friend’s plant may have pups you can acquire. Caring for greenovia is very similar to the maintenance for other succulents. As with all these sun-loving plants, water usage is the main issue. Greenovia are tiny little plants, only about 6 inches tall at maturity. They are found in the eastern and western parts of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The wild plants are in danger due to over collection and tourist activities. They are squat bodied, grayish green plants that often have a rose tinge at the edges of the leaves. The leaves are fleshy, smooth, oval to paddle shaped and layered upon another, just as rose petals nestle against themselves. By the time rose-shaped greenovia is mature, the lowest older petals pull away from the main body a bit and develop a soft sandy, pink tone. Over time, the plant can produce pups, or offsets, which you can divide away from the mother for easy new plants.
How to Grow Greenovia Greenovia is an infrequent flowering plant and there is evidence that it is monocarpic. This means it will flower once, eventually, and then die after it sets seed. If your plant flowers and doesn’t have pups, this is bad news. You may certainly collect and plant the seed, but as with most succulents, you will have to wait years for any identifiable form. The rose-shaped succulent called Greenovia dodrentalis does bloom more frequently than other greenovia without dying. Bag the heads to catch seed and sow indoors in shallow trays. Use a spray bottle to water the tiny seedlings initially. Transplant them to larger containers when you can identify several sets of leaves. Use a gritty potting soil and a well-drained pot. A faster, more immediate way to enjoy new greenovia is to use a sharp knife and divide away the pups at the base of the plant. Install them in clean soil and treat them as you would the adult.
Caring for Greenovia Keep these succulents in a warm, brightly lit location. Water when the top surface of soil is dry. In winter, reduce water by half. Resume watering in spring when new growth commences. This is the best time to fertilize, as well. You can move your greenovia outside onto the patio or other bright location in summer but make sure to gradually adjust the plant to the outdoors. It is best to choose a location where there is protection from the highest light of the day to avoid scorching the little plants. Watch for any insect pests and combat immediately. This is especially important when the season is closing and it is time to move the plants back indoors. You don’t want any hitchhiking insects to infest your houseplants. Repot greenovia every few years. They like to be crowded so it may just be necessary to replace the soil with more fertile medium. Share the pups of these unique little plants whenever you can, so more gardeners can enjoy the little rose-shaped greenovia plant.

Succulents are a diverse form of plants that includes cacti and other moisture-storing specimens. Graptopetalum ghost plant develops a rosette shape on stems which may trail or hang. As with most plants in this group, water needs are little and exposure is important. Ghost flower plant care hinges on providing a natural environment that mimics the succulent’s native habitat. Tips on how to grow a Graptopetalum will ensure your ghost plant is healthy and enjoyable for many years.
Graptopetalum Ghost Plant Information Thick, fleshy leaves and stems characterize most succulent plants. Ghost plants (Graptopetalum paraguayense) have thick leaves that hold excess moisture so the plant can withstand periods without rain. The silvery gray to bluish green foliage has a pinkish tinge to the edges of the leaves when they are young. Layers of leaves form the rosette, which range in size from less than an inch across to several inches wide. The plant is related to and resembles Echeveria, which is a common and fairly hardy succulent plant often used in container gardens. These plants have color changing abilities. Full sun is the best location for them, but growing succulent ghost plants in partial shade produces the bluish-gray tones. Full sun plants tend to be yellowish-pink, pearlescent and slightly translucent. Those in punishing heat turn gray with pink overtones. Full ghost plant information must include the detail that the plant grows from the center of the rosette. This gives mature succulents a rangy appearance, which is easy fix by pinching back. The plant flowers occasionally in spring to summer with airy little yellow blooms.
How to Grow a Graptopetalum The stems on this plant are fairly brittle and detach easily. This is because in its habitat, Graptopetalum ghost plant reproduces vegetatively. Any rosette that breaks off has the potential to root and start a new plant. Even a leaf that drops off will root below the parent plant and produce a new rosette quickly. The new plant feeds off the leaf until it shrivels up and falls off. By then the new little ghost plant has rooted and sprouted new leaves. Growing succulent ghost plants is ridiculously easy and a great confidence booster for the novice gardener. USDA zones 7b and up are suitable for growing succulent ghost plants. The rules for ghost flower plant care are similar to those for most succulents. Container-bound plants thrive in a mixture of peat, sand or other grit, topsoil and a little bit of compost. Full sun is the best situation but they will also grow in partial sun with slightly rangy results. Because the stems are so fragile, it is best to pick the best location for ghost plant and then don’t move it. Ghost plants need excellent drainage and moderate water. You can tell when to water by sticking your finger in the soil. If it is dry several inches down or the fleshy leaves are looking shriveled, you should water. Overwatering is a cause of root rots and the plant can get several pest infestations. Fertilize it in early spring and provide water only monthly in winter.
