It's important to note first that these plants are winter growers and tend to go dormant in the summer months. During dormancy, the plant will lose all of its upper foliage and will persist as the underground bulb until fall. If growing this plant indoors, this dormancy may happen, or it may not. You can trigger it to happen by ceasing to water in the summer, and picking back up again in the fall.
Plant it in well draining, gritty soil. A store bought cactus and succulent soil would work well, but you can also mix a 1:1 ratio of potting soil and perlite. Unlike many other succulents, O. palmifrons like consistently damp (but never soggy) soil. Give it plenty of indirect light, but avoid lots of direct sun. A west or east facing window would work well. These plants respond well to grow lights.
