It flowers in late spring to summer, producing arching stems of orange to reddish blooms with yellow interiors, a typical trait of the species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Tips:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLight\u003c\/b\u003e - Requires bright light to full sun for best colour development and compact growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater\u003c\/b\u003e - Water thoroughly and allow the soil to dry completely between watering; reduce during cooler months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHumidity\u003c\/b\u003e - Performs well in low humidity environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMedia\u003c\/b\u003e - Use a coarse, free-draining succulent and cactus mix.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTemperature\u003c\/b\u003e - Prefers 15-27 °C and protection from frost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFertiliser\u003c\/b\u003e - Apply a diluted, balanced fertiliser during the growing season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRepotting\u003c\/b\u003e - Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes rootbound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cactus - Farm","offers":[{"title":"66mm pot","offer_id":49137208033568,"sku":"S097","price":8.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100mm Pot","offer_id":50145218461984,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/6261\/4816\/files\/Echeveriasirius.jpg?v=1754223486"},{"product_id":"lapidaria-margaretae","title":"Lapidaria margaretae","description":"\u003cp\u003eLapidaria margaretae is a slow-growing succulent native to southern Namibia and the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, particularly in the lower Orange River valley.
