• When watering, it is very important to ensure that the water does not fall on the leaves and does not roll into the sinuses.

The plant loves cold winters, so if there is an opportunity it needs to be taken outside or onto the balcony. In the open field, the plant does not freeze and remains green, even if it is covered with snow. In a room, especially warm, the young can get sick or even die.

In the garden, the stone rose is one of the most unpretentious plants.

For successful growth and development, he needs only a sunny place and limited watering. It would be best not to water the plant at all, but to plant it in poor sandy soil.

For rejuvenated no additional feeding and fertilizers are needed, it will only do harm. While the plant is young, care will consist in weeding out the weeds in the surrounding areas.

Reproduction was young

The easiest and fastest way to reproduce a stone rose is by shoots, they can be found in large numbers around adults.

Young plants take root as soon as they touch the ground. Soon you can see a "thick carpet" of daughter individuals. Gardeners often use this breeding method when the young is used as a soil breed.

Like any other plant, rejuvenated is grown from seeds:

• The seeds can be harvested on their own, or you can buy ready-made seeds in the store.
• The seeds are sown in a shallow container with special soil for cacti.
• At this point, the soil should be slightly moistened. It is not necessary to deepen the seeds into the ground, they are laid on the surface.
• The optimal time for sowing is from February to March.
• The best temperature for seed germination is up to 25 degrees.
• When the first shoots appear, they can be watered, but the amount of moisture should be strictly limited, since water spoils the plant.
• Two months later seedlings dive at a distance of about 5 cm from each other.
• In a permanent place in the garden, there must be a distance of at least 10 cm between the plants; transplantation is carried out in July.

Since the plant tolerates the winter period well, special shelter and other conditions are not required for it.

On the contrary, under the snow it will have a fresh look and green leaves. Shelter is done if the plant is young, that is, it was planted not in the summer, but in the middle of autumn, and did not have time to get stronger. The wintering of such plants will take place under the spruce branches.
