Orostachys aggregata
The plant prefers sunny habitats, can tolerate partial shade.
In a pot, always water after the substrate is dry. When placing in a rock garden, water at your own discretion.
The plant is frost-resistant and can be grown outdoors all year round.
The light green colour of the leaves remains mostly unchanged throughout the year.
Orostachys aggregata, also called Orostachys malacophylla aggregata, is characterized by leaves with a stable coloration. The light green colour on the fleshy leaves remains throughout the year. The plant is less branching and is suitable for the rock garden. In winter I recommend rather sheltered habitats. It is advisable, for example, to cover the plant with twigs according to your own experience.
These plants are frost-resistant and require only minimal attention and care. It is advisable to repot the succulent once in a while to give it enough nutrients for its growth. It is suitable for the rock garden or in portable containers, and as long as it has sufficient light and permeable soil, it can live in very inhospitable conditions. Water only during prolonged droughts and usually do not water in winter. Over the winter, the plant rosettes can retract and naturally lose their volume. They will regain it at the beginning of the growing season.
