Growing Conditions
Pixie Bells®likes full sun to partial shade. Pixie Bells®will grow to approx. 30cm high x 30cm wide.
Plant Care
Pixie Bells®likes a well drained open soil mix. As it is a succulent water only when required. Fertilise twice a year, once in spring and once in autumn. Mulching around the base of the plant will save water and keep the plant looking good.
Remove flowers when they have finished flowering. This will allow new growth to shoot away.
Pixie Bells®is fairly disease free as long as good drainage is maintained. If a fungal problem does occur, usually after heavy rains, then treat with a general fungicide.
