🌟How to Grow and Care for Edithcolea Grandis🌟

Simply spread the seeds (not too many) on the potting mix and cover them with a thin layer of potting mix or pre-washed river sand. In 15-25 days, you should see that some edithcolea grandis have germinated.

You should provide a well-drained potting mix for your Persian carpet flower. The substrate of this plant should be more porous than the regular succulent potting mix. You can buy a regular cactus mix and add grit or river-washed sand to it.

The potting mix of edithcolea grandis should not hold water for more than six hours if you want your plant to thrive. It should have good drainage abilities.

Growing and caring for edithcolea grandis needs your effort. Even though this plant is a succulent plant, it originates from the tropical regions of Africa, so you must be very careful when growing it in a temperate region. What’s more, Edithcolea grandis indoor care is the same as caring for it outdoors.

Light

Edithcolea grandis needs as much light as you can provide. Give your Persian carpet flowers access to more than six hours of direct sunlight daily. Edithcolea grandis can also grow in partial sun, which means that they should be exposed to sunlight for four to six hours, but you should make sure that your plant is not showing any sign of light deficiency.

As an indoor plant, you should place your edithcolea grandis pot on the south or east-facing windowsills of your home. In winter, you can grow your edithcolea grandis plants by placing them under 12 or more hours of grow lights. 

Water

Water your edithcolea grandis just like other succulents, so only water it when the soil is dry. Make sure that you planted your edithcolea grandis in well-drained soil.

You should water your plant in the morning so that any droplets remaining in the stem or topsoil evaporate because of the heat of the sun that it gets during the day. In the growing season (spring and summer), water your Persian carpet flower weekly or when the soil is dry completely. You do not need to water the plant in the fall or winter.

Nutrient

Fertilize your edithcolea grandis monthly during the growing season. You can also use diluted (to half strength) succulent fertilizer. Another thing you can do is use organic materials to boost the nutrients in the potting mix. Eggshell and other dry organic materials are suitable for edithcolea grandis.

If you must use compost or other organic fertilizer such as rotted manure, make sure that you do not use too much of it so that it does not change the properties of the potting mix (i.e. the mix starts to hold water instead of draining water quickly).
