Hardiness and Origin: Native to southern Africa (Namibia and South Africa). Very drought-resistant; requires protection from frost and excessive humidity.

Recommended Exposure: Full direct sun or very bright, filtered light. Protect from scorching summer sun during the hottest hours of the day. Germination time: Varies, from 7 days to several weeks (up to 4-6 weeks or more), depending on environmental conditions and the variety. Some seeds can germinate even months later.
