Water sparingly during the growing season (autumn to spring), allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the summer dormancy period to prevent rot.

Overwatering is the most common cause of failure.

Pruning is generally not required for Conophytum friedrichiae. If a plant becomes leggy due to insufficient light, it can be carefully divided or offsets removed.

Remove any dead or decaying leaves promptly to maintain plant health and prevent fungal issues.

Propagation is primarily done through division of mature clumps or by sowing seeds. Offsets can be carefully separated when the plant is actively growing.

Seed germination requires patience and specific conditions, typically sterile, well-draining media and controlled temperatures.

Repot Conophytum friedrichiae every 2-3 years or when the pot becomes crowded. Repotting is best done at the beginning of the growing season (autumn) after the plant has finished its summer dormancy.

Use a very gritty, well-draining potting mix.
