A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch Obtained on a 2” pot (4 0z.) -Repot in clay pot to hang using Miracle grow cactus soil mix. -Flower during winter months, requires more water at that time. Plant placed in a succulent combo large pot. Not a good idea, over time the plant got overwater and died. Next time if I try I should retain plant in individual small pot and increase size as needed.
