🌱 Main features
☀️ Care in Perth
Sunlight:
Best grown in full sun to bright filtered light. Morning sun and some protection from intense afternoon heat can be beneficial during Perth’s hottest periods.
Watering:
Allow the soil to dry out between watering. In winter, reduce watering considerably. The biggest risk is overwatering, which can cause root and stem rot.
Soil:
Use a free-draining succulent or cactus mix. If planting in the ground, improve drainage before planting.
Fertiliser:
Apply a diluted, balanced succulent fertiliser or slow-release fertiliser during the active growing season, mainly spring and early summer. Avoid excessive fertilising.
✂️ Maintenance
Remove damaged or dead leaves and flower stems as required. If the plant becomes too tall or open, light pruning can help maintain a compact shape. Allow cut surfaces to dry before watering.
🏡 Landscaping importance
Cotyledon ‘Delight’ is excellent for low-maintenance and waterwise landscaping. Its bold, fleshy foliage provides strong texture and contrast when combined with smaller groundcover succulents, grasses and flowering plants. It is also well suited to decorative pots and balconies.
