코피아포아 쿠프레아타 씨앗

Soil type: Requires gritty, well-drained soil; use cactus mix or a blend with sand and pumice.

Watering frequency: Water infrequently—only during the growing season when the soil is completely dry; withhold in winter.

Light exposure: Full sun is best to preserve its coppery hue; partial shade tolerated in very hot climates.

Temperature requirements: Thrives between 12–28°C (54–82°F); can survive short dips to 2°C (36°F) if dry.

Fertilization: Fertilize monthly during active growth using diluted cactus fertilizer low in nitrogen.

Pruning: Generally unnecessary; remove any dead material or dried flowers as needed.

Common pests: Susceptible to root mealybugs and spider mites; avoid overwatering to prevent rot.

Other care practices: Excellent for pots or xeriscapes; good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues.
