Φροντίδα
It requires a substrate with good drainage. Very drought-resistant, it needs watering during its growing period and almost none when it goes dormant. Its leaves have a white waxy coating, and to maintain it, the plant should be watered in the soil without wetting its leaves.
It develops better in full sunlight conditions, but it needs adjustment when moving to positions with hot, summer sun. In shade, its leaves take on greener hues, while in full sun, the foliage acquires the characteristic blue-gray shades of the variety.
It enjoys temperatures above 5°C but can withstand for short periods down to -5°C as long as its substrate remains dry.
