GROWING TIPS

This species has the following hardiness:

USDA Hardiness Zone 8. The plant tolerates low temperatures (-8° C), can tolerate occasional snow cover for up to a couple of weeks per year.

We are not sure what the exact requirements for germinating the seeds of this pigmy plant are. It can be presumed that a cold stratification may be necessary (although considering the fact that the temperatures even during summer usually fall below zero at night, there may be not much sense for the plant to require cold stratification) and that the substrate must be extremely salty. The germination temperature is also unknown, and probably tends to be quite low (probably not more than + 10 + 15º C).
