Generalities Widow's-thrill
The Widow's-thrill is a succulent plant. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a red colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 30 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.

Exposure Widow's-thrillPosizione mezza ombra
Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can receive the sunrays during the coolest hours of the day. The Widow's-thrill needs a minimum temperature superior to 15°C, during this time of the year it is best to check the night temperatures before setting it outside.A great part of succulent plants can endure low temperatures, even below 5°C, but if we’re growing them in a harsh climate we must avoid watering.

Watering Widow's-thrillTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants only from time to time, but we must remember to wet the soil deeply using 1-2 glasses of water every 4-5 weeks . Succulent plants can also endure long periods of time without watering; usually as the climate gets colder they need less water, while during the summer months they should be watered abundantly .

Treatments Widow's-thrill
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Soil Widow's-thrill
These succulent plants need to be located in an accentuated and drained substratum. We suggest repotting every 2-3 years.
