MsDoe said: I have one additional suggestion.
If the pot will be outdoors, I would shade the pot itself and the caudex.
The foliage does fine in heat and bright light, but pots can really heat up the roots more than is healthy.
Of course it needs to come indoors if temps are below about 60 F.

This was fantastic care information and exactly what I was looking for. How do you shade the caudex and the pot? It is inside now as it is really cold for Southern California lol in the 40's… it sits in a sunny window and so far seems to be doing well even as it enters dormancy. I have every intention of moving it to full sun outdoors when the weather heats up. Do you think it will be fine in 110° full sun summer with the caudex covered?
