Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can take in the solar rays during the coolest hours of the day. We can grow a large part of the succulent plants in a cold climate; some species can endure temperatures below 5°C, but only if the soil stays completely dry.We advise cultivating the The Pig's ear in a covered place, in an apartment or green house, as they don't like temperatures below 15°C: during late Spring they can be moved outdoors.
