During the spring season, you will see attractive yellow-colored flowers blooming.

Watering and Feeding

If you are someone who waters their plant a lot, this succulent is not for you. No matter which season, it likes to be infrequently watered and just be left alone. Feed the plant triannually but make sure the fertilizer does not have heavy salts.

Soil

You can easily find an organic cactus mix at your nearest store. Make it well drained. Keep it away from wet or mucky soil at all costs.
