Care Tips

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. A few hours of mild morning sun is acceptable, but protect from intense afternoon sun which can scorch its leaves. It can tolerate lower light, but its growth may become leggy.

• Soil: Absolutely requires a very well-draining potting mix designed for succulents and cacti. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand or grit is ideal.

• Temperature: Prefers average room temperatures, between 18-29°C (65-85°F). Protect from frost.
• Pruning: Generally not required beyond removing any dead or shriveled bottom leaves.
