Fenestraria rhopalophylla

Have grown these in the garden for years... sometimes they do great, and sometimes they wither and die... not figured the problem out, but I can tell you that they don't like too much shade- get stretched and rot easily... but they don't like blazing, hot sun, either... makes them shrivel up and die... seem to like being wedged into places between rocks that protect them from hot afternoon sun, but get a lot of morning sun. Tolerate a lot of drought, but not too much, or again, they wither and die. Do very well in pots and seem to be a nearly carefree plant in a pot as long as lots of bright light or morning light and don't water all the time.

I HAVE THE WHITE FLOWERED VARIETY , IT;S BLOOMING RIGHT NOW, IT'S BEEN BLOOMING FOR AT LEAST 2 MONTHS. i CAN TELL YOU THEY REALLY LIKE BONEMEAL.
i HAD 2 - 2 1/2 IN PLANTS, ONE LOOKED BETTER THAN THE OTHER, I TRANSPLANTED THE TWO TO A SMALL BONZAI POT AND SOON HAD 2 SUCCESSIVE BLOOMS.
THE LIGHT IS SO-SO AT NIGHT WHERE i POT AND I TOP DRESSED WITH BONEMEAL INSTEAD OF THE CRUSHED STONE I THOUGHT I WAS USING. GAVE IT A LITTLE WATER ONCE IN AWHILE, WITHIN 2 WEEKS I HAD 7 FLOWERS AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN I REALIZED THE WATER WAS BEADING ON THE SURFACE AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED, I SCRAPED MOST OF THE BONEMEAL OFF AND REPLACED WITH CRUSHED STONE. THIS NOV MORN I HAVE 8 BUDS AND 1 LARGE FLOWER
