SHORT GROWING INSTRUCTIONS 
Good drainage is always essential. Give plenty of light, but protect your plants from 
direct burning sunlight in summer time. Don’t allow your pots to dry up when the 
plants are growing. Water sparingly when they are resting or dormant. For planting 
use a mixture of one-third coarse sand, one-third of fine old screened leaf mold, and 
one-third of good garden or potting soil. Add traces of lime (old mortar, etc.) and 
charcoal. With this mixture fill the put up to one inch, more or less; over this mixture 
put a layer of sand and plant. Water very carefully until your plants get established 
and show signs of active growth. 
For propagation by cutting: Plant your cuttings in clean sand, keep in shade and in 
case of Crassulas, Asclepiads and Mesembs of more succulent types do not water until 
your cuttings begin to root.
