My scelly tortuosum is planted in a deco pot with some Trichs. It's doing great in a fast draining mix watered daily to every 3 days depending on the weather. I'd say I let the top inch of soil dry between waterings(in an 8x12x8 pot.) Under that, there is moisture, but it's not 'wet.' I wouldn't keep any plant of this type 'wet,' personally. A wet/dry cycle is advisable. Happy gardening.

free draining and freely water over winter. feed it too with liquid ferts - youll be amazed by the yields

on patch i grew which was maybe 2 metres square yielded 14kg fresh herbage in one harvest which made nearly 1/2 kg of finished product

basic rule of thumb is 25-28kg fresh herb = 1kg processed herb

i tell you this cos ive done my dash with scelly growing commerially. biomass is easy. but its a lot of work to process that 14kg to finished product you are proud to say is ur finest

theres easier herbs out there to wildcraft and simply dry

so have a go

its an autumn and spring grower like a lot of mesembs

leave it dry over summer but if its a mild summer itll grow all year around

in winter itll take at least -5C without damage

plant april to june, harvest november as it starts flowering

need stock? ill gladly make you tubestock of it

all proceeds to charity

20 plants in a tray

more trays = less price of course

lets say one tray gets you $2.50 a pot

its just a herb afterall and just a succulent

no need to price it special

again i reiterate - group buys and wholesale only

no multiple shipping arrangments made!

if you need any Legal herb propagated for that matter, cheaply

for whatever gain you have in mind

contact me
