About Semponium

Care essentials
Light
Semponium prefers bright light with some direct sun; provide morning sun and afternoon shade in Northeast Florida to prevent leaf scorch in peak summer heat.
Water
Water infrequently, allowing soil to dry between waterings; in Florida's wet season, ensure fast-draining soil or container culture to prevent rot. Bring indoors or cover during rare hard freezes below 25°F.
Soil & Fertilizer
Use a coarse, well-draining cactus/succulent mix with 50–70% mineral grit (perlite or coarse sand). Fertilize lightly in spring with a dilute balanced succulent fertilizer; avoid overfeeding.
