The Tasmanian east coast form is a geographically distinct provenance, collected and maintained in cultivation for its hardy constitution and authentic regional origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter to spring (September–November). Flowers carried on short spikes near the foliage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream to pale yellow with distinctive reddish-brown streaking across the sepals and petals. Small but characterful, with a mild fragrance. Typical of the species.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mini-miniature lithophyte with pendulous, wiry, terete leaves forming a dense mat or cascading growth. Slow to establish but long-lived once settled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool to cold-growing. Tolerates a wide temperature range and can handle near-freezing conditions when kept dry. Best grown outdoors in a sheltered but exposed position in southern Australia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e High light.

Allow the mount or medium to dry between waterings, especially in cooler months.

If potted, use a very coarse, fast-draining mix. Avoid repotting unnecessarily — prefers to be left undisturbed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light feeding with a dilute balanced fertiliser during the summer growing season.
