Titanopsis are small succulent plants, one of those called living rocks.

How to please this unique succulent?



They are winter grower in it's habitat (south Africa) so in cultivation with colder climates they grow in spring and autumn, heading for winter and summer dormancy.
They need to be grown in mineral, porous soil and never to be over-watered. I give them small amount of water (less then many other cacti and succulents) every week from spring to autumn. They like sun, so give them as much sun as I can.

Winter dormancy


In winter they should be kept in cool and sunny location. They can tolerate frost to -10/-12 C. Mine are overwintering outside (to -12 C), on a south side of the house, without any water from autumn till spring. And they look healthy and beautiful. I like their winter colors!


Spring is coming soon


....and so are their flowers! They flower easy, every late winter or early spring, in yellow or orange.
