Cistanthe grow from seeds and pieces of broken stems. They are primarily found growing in rocky habitats and disturbed areas in the wild, easily recognizable by the profusion of flowers the plants produce from spring through fall. The plants' long flowering time makes them a favorite with gardeners.
Water:
Cistanthe thrives in consistent moisture, preferring regular hydration without excessive humidity. Water weekly and ensure proper container drainage to prevent root rot, especially when grown indoors, to maintain healthy growth cycles.
Propagation:
Cistanthe propagation involves seed sowing, division, and cuttings. Successful techniques require proper light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Seeds germinate in 14-21 days when kept moist. Division or cuttings should be taken in spring, ensuring a growth node and bright, indirect light until rooted.
