- The Conophytum bilobum 'Chukjeon' that I newly brought in this year is a small succulent less than 7cm in size. The key is to grow it dry. When the surface becomes wrinkled, give it water and pay attention to ventilation to prevent overwatering.
- Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, so soft morning and late afternoon sunlight is good. The optimal temperature is 10~12 degrees Celsius, and a space that is neither too cold nor too hot is suitable.
- It started molting in May. During molting, do not water it and observe it for management. In summer, it enters dormancy and watering should be stopped. In autumn, we look forward to the blooming of flowers.
'Chukjeon' in the left pot and 'Heart Hoya' in the right pot
I saw this new pot on the internet this year and got it because the heart shape was so cute.
I named them "Little Love" and "Big Love".

'Chukjeon' signaling for water

Terracotta pots drain water quickly, soordinary ceramic potsare good for succulents. Keep this in mind when repotting.
The leaves may burn in direct sunlight at noon, sosoft morning and late afternoon sunlightis good.

Theyshedinearly summerto increase the number of individuals. When they shed, one body becomes 2-3, increasing the number of individuals.
As these new offsets grow, the outer leaves fall off, and new "Chukjeon"s settle in a heart shape.
'Chukjeon' that started molting due to the early summer heat
It is still April, but the heat came early, and they have already started to shed. I can see the small offsets through the cracks.
You should never water during shedding.You shouldn't force them off, so I'm going to keep watching them.
After shedding is complete, water them once and then manage them by lightly spraying them with water.
They are in a dormant period in thesummer, soyou should not water them.
They bloom with flowers that resemble flames in thefall. I'm looking forward to seeing the flowers this year.
