This is a winter-grower, as you note, so in the summer you'll not want it to get rained up.

I'd mist the plant, not the soil, and also give the soil a weekly sip (since you say it has some roots). As warm and sunny as you can make it for the plant would be good, too. The soil sounds fine - the gritty mix will rock the plant.

'rained up'

Or rained down upon, one presumes....reign o'er me....

Thank you Jeff! in summer I will keep it under covered porch. Should i give some sips of water in summer or no water at all?
Thanks

Inna,

I never did water Tylecodons in the summer - IME, I've found them to be some of the most displeased plants in The Succulent Kingdom when given water during their dormancy. In contradistinction to that, the Cyphostemmas get a wee sip in winter, in spite of them being in the depth of dormancy (although for the last few years the Cyphos have been leafing out in early February, probably because the neighbors across the street cut down some tall trees, allowing even more weak glimmerings of the winter sun through the main south window).

Anyway, no, my Tylecodon collection (10 plants or so) in San Diego never got watered, even a teensy bit, in summer - they sat outside and baked like a potato. During winter, they enjoyed the winter rains and grew profusely. I even had a few in the ground, where they were the easiest plant in the world to care for; one did absolutely nothing for them and they flourished, whereas the ones in the pots had to have supplementary watering if it was a less-than-usual winter rainfall.

I on the hand, have watered my Tylecodon panniculata, wallichi and cacalioides all summer long (all are in the ground) without any 'upset' plants as a result. My soil is pretty clay-filled, too, so sometimes the soil can stay a bit muddy for weeks after I water too well. Perhaps in pots these are more finicky plants, but in the ground they do not appear to be. Never seen much in the way of growth except for T panniculata, which will keep its leaves all year round if I water it year round. All start their new leaves in ernest in early to mid fall. By the time winter hits, they have pretty much put out their full set of leaves, so to say these are winter growers may not be totally accurate. They sure seem to tolerate winter rains well, though, but mine are pretty much through their major growing by January. And flowers are in the late spring for me, at least on T wallichii (not seen the other two flower yet). I have rooted this latter species all year round, summer or winter... seems not to make a lot of difference (super easy one to root from cuttings by the way, which are in abundance if an ground-grown plant- these need trimming yearly).
