Soil Type

Water: Originating from rocky terrains, erinus thrives with minimal moisture and exhibits drought resistance. Watering should be consistent weekly to mimic its arid environment. Ideal for rock gardens, erinus captures and stores limited rainfall, making it well-suited for habitats where water is scarce.

Propagation: Primary propagation methods for erinus are seed sowing and division, requiring well-draining soil, moderate light, and temperate conditions. Sow seeds on the surface and ensure consistent moisture. Transplant seedlings when established; divide and replant during cooler periods.
