Planting instructions for:

Cotyledon barbeyi

To plant Cotyledon barbeyi, choose a well-draining cactus or succulent mix and ensure the soil is loose and aerated. Select a suitable location with bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade. Dig a hole slightly larger than the plant's root ball and gently place the plant in the hole, backfilling with soil and firming it around the base. Water thoroughly after planting, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Provide occasional fertilization during the growing season, pinch back the tips for bushier growth, and inspect regularly for pests and diseases. With proper care and attention, your Cotyledon barbeyi will thrive and bring beauty to your garden or indoor space.
