Sabulina - PictureThis

Sabulina

Sabulina comprises small, resilient flowering plants primarily adapted to sandy, rocky environments, reflecting its name's implication of 'sand-loving'. Characterized by compact, cushion-like clumps, these plants display needle-like leaves and vibrant star-shaped flowers. The hardiness of sabulina enables it to thrive in nutrient-poor, well-drained soils, often in cold or temperate climates, making it a typical inhabitant of exposed mountainous or coastal regions.

Water: Sabulina thrives in consistently moist conditions, requiring weekly watering for optimal health. It prefers evenly moist soil and tolerates brief dryness. As an evergreen often grown indoors, sabulina benefits from stable temperatures, supporting year-round foliage without the stress of outdoor climate changes.

Propagation: Propagation of sabulina can be done through seed sowing or division, requiring bright indirect light, well-draining soil, and temperatures of 16-24°C (60-75°F). Key steps include collecting seeds, sowing them superficially, maintaining moisture, and monitoring for overwatering and fungal issues.
