Nananthus are easy and rewarding plants. They grow on winter rain areas and were heading for summer dormancy. Suggestions have been made to keep them cool, shaded and dry in summer. This species usually "wakes up" in mid-Fall. Water minimally in summer, only when the plant starts shriveling. (but it is indeed a very adaptable species that can grows opportunistically in summer too if the water availability and growing condition are favorable). Requires good drainage. Keep cool in summer, need full sun or light shade on the other seasons. Frost Tolerance: Will take a small amount of frost for a short time (it is reported to be hardy to at least -12° C if very dry).

Can't say enoughj good, great, wonderful, fabulous, things about Plant Desert. They are awesome. Plants arrive quickly, most if not all have had a recent potting with quality mediums - so no need for an immediate to repot like you will find with many vendors. Also when shipping, PD, has with out the best system of any of the vendors on Etsy. Your plants arrive perfect each and every time. Can you tell I love this store???
