During the growing season, dyckias should be fertilized with a half-strength solution instead of the normal quarter-strength solution. During the winter, watering should be cut back, but not eliminated. The soil can be allowed to dry out some. These plants can be grown in full sun.

The White Dyckia plant needs less water to grow, and in the winter season, no water is needed. Dyckia marnier-lapostollei is an eye-catching plant. It needs well-drained soil to thrive. The hardiness of this succulent is 10a to 11b, with a frost tolerance of -5° C (23° F).

Dyckias relish full sun, but can also accept less (but keep in mind that less light can alter leaf color). Plant Dyckia in well-draining soil.

Propagation: Dyckia fosteriana can be propagated in spring from offsets which appear in large number around the base of these plants. Remove the offsets with a sharp knife when they are 3-5cm (1-2 inch) across.
