Bergeranthus (Yellow Flowering Succulent)

Size: Bushy Plant | 2.5" Pot Included

Bergeranthus succulents, originating from South Africa, are known for their unique fleshy leaves and vibrant flowers.

Here's a breakdown of Bergeranthus succulent care:

Key Care Aspects:

Light:

They thrive in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

In very hot climates, some afternoon shade can be beneficial.

Indoors, a south or west-facing window is ideal.

Watering:

Like most succulents, they are drought-tolerant.

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

Water sparingly, especially during the dormant winter months. Overwatering is a primary cause of root rot.

Soil:

Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix.

A sandy or rocky soil is ideal for outdoor planting.

Temperature:

They prefer warm temperatures and are not frost-tolerant.

Protect them from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Fertilizing:

Feed sparingly with a diluted, balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).

Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months.

Propagation:

They can be propagated through:

Division: Dividing clumps is the easiest method.

Leaf cuttings: Allow the cut leaf to callous before planting.

Seeds: Sow seeds in a well-draining soil mix.

Important Considerations:

Drainage: Proper drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

Sunlight: Adequate sunlight is essential for vibrant colors and healthy growth.

Watering: Err on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering.

By following these care guidelines, you can help your Bergeranthus plants thrive and enjoy their unique beauty.
