Dyckia marnier-lapostollei from Bahia
This is the form most easily seen abroad. A magnificent plant and always a Dream Dyckia.
Note here the flowers spike has almost no bractea. The teeth form a saw like edge.
This plant hates tap water inside the rosette. Melts easily. So people come to the wrong conclusion the plant needs almost no water. This is also false. The plant enjoys water but acid soft water and no the hard basic you may have in the pipes.
Soft water is the water without dissolved salts, like rain water.
Use rain water kept with some peat in it. The plant will love it and you will notice. Stop that plant suffering for nothing. Water you marnier. It will be a magnificent plant and that shrinked one.
