Hi all, been wondering lately how others grow this plant. Do you grow it as a Winter or Summer grower in the U.K. Mine seems to do quite well when given adequate water and feed in the Summer. Cheers

The only Hoodia's that haven't died on me are those I grew from seed a few years back.
All the others eventually rotted. Even when I hadn't watered for quite a while... My wintering conditions might just be too cold for 'em. I keep my fingers crossed for the ones from seed.

I keep them like most of my plants as summer growers. No water during winter.

My 2009 sown Hoodia gordonii I also treat as a summer grower. Goes pretty well. I keep them dry from September to late March.

Summer growers only. Hoodias seem to hate being cold and wet moreso than anything else I grow.

Thanks all. ok its seems to be a Summer grower, that what I thought. Do not see many on the show bench, wondered what size pot of this plant would be ok to enter a show.? Cheers
