Cubelium thrives in arid, rocky habitats, developing deep root systems that anchor and nourish it in sparse soils. With thick, succulent leaves that store water, it withstands prolonged dry spells. The leaves display a striking blue-green hue, contrasted by vivid, bell-shaped flowers that bloom briefly, attracting pollinators in its harsh environment.
Water:
Cubelium prefers moderate humidity and can tolerate slight dryness. Water every 2-3 weeks to suit its drought resistance. Grown mainly indoors, it requires well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, especially during active growth periods.
Propagation:
Propagation for cubelium primarily involves seed sowing and stem cuttings. Successful growth requires bright, indirect light, warmth (20-25°C), and well-draining soil. For cuttings, use a 4-6 inch section, apply rooting hormone, and maintain humidity. Challenges include seed viability and potential rot.
