Hardiness

Rhombophyllum Dolabriforme grows best in the spring and summer seasons, the frost tolerance of this elegant succulent ranges anywhere from 1.7° C (35° F) to 10° C (50° F). Furthermore, 10b to 11b is the hardiness zone of the Elkhorn plant.

Light

Propagation

You can propagate these succulents through cuttings. Be sure to dry out the cuttings before you plant them in well-drained and gritty soil.

Rhombophyllum Dolabriforme is a sight for sore eyes since when the plant starts blooming, its beautiful flowers grow in the afternoon sunlight and you get to witness this every day, beginning mid-spring!
