Description:
The name of the species comes from the Latin word “maritimus” - “marine, of the sea”, in fact this plant comes from the coastal regions of the Mediterranean. It is a perennial succulent, which produces a pyriform bulb of about 20 cm in diameter, from which long, lance-shaped leaves of an intense green color grow.

Plant care:
Avoid direct sun rays, which may burn the plant; it is better to place it in a sheltered and bright location. The best option is the morning sunlight until 12.00 / 13.00, or the afternoon sunlight afer 15.00 / 16.00.
It requires mild temperatures, it is advisable to shelter it when winter temperatures drop below 10 °C.
During the growth period it is advisable to water it only when the soil is dry. During the rest period, however, it is necessary to completely suspend watering: the bulbs are very sensitive to rotting, therefore it is better to water less.
A well-draining substrate with a strong organic component is an optimal solution. It is required to choose the one in which the bulb can grow both underground and on the ground, where it will still be able to root.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
