Astrolista is a botanical name created to accomodate the intergeneric hybrids between Astroloba and Tulista. This hybrid combination is rarely seen.

Caring for your Astrolista

• Pot: Astrolista is best suited to cultivation in containers. Some species are also well suited to a protected spot in the rockery in frost free and lower winter rainfall areas

• Soil: The plants prefer a well-drained soil, a mixture of sandy soil with some organic matter.

• Light: The brighter the light the more colourful and compact your plant will be. However Astrolista can also tolerate slightly shaded positions.

• Water: Let your plants soil dry out for a few days between watering. Rather underwater than over-water to avoid root-loss.
