These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form. The Bishop's hat is developed like a succulent plant. Feed Bishop's hat
In the spring let’s fertilize our succulent plants periodically, adding, every 15-20 days, a specific fertilizer. Fertilizers fur succulent plants must be rich in potassium, but poor in nitrogen, to avoid the plants from developing excess vegetation, which is easily attacked by fungal diseases.
