Sinningia cardinalis

Post by Mike P »

I fell victim to one of these back in the summer and wonder what its growing regime ought to be? It’s currently on a window sill in the house and seems to be growing happily…

I'd be interested to learn more too since I've just researched and found a picture of one

It seems ....

"Plant in a pot or protected spot that has well-draining soil in light shade or morning sun and water regularly when in leaf but avoid moisture during winter dormancy and protect from any frost."
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

I used to grow lots of these-they're quite easy to grow but do like a relatively shady position.
Plenty of water in the summer, quite dry over the winter.
I got mine from: https://www.dibleys-shop.com/products/cardinalis-1
