Plant Care Needs

• Sun Requirements: Place in bright, indirect sunlight. The Baby Necklace prefers at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day but can tolerate partial shade.

• Watering Frequency: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Water sparingly, approximately every 7-10 days, depending on environmental conditions.

• Soil Requirements: Plant in well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. We recommend Tits & Grit Cacti & Succulent Mix!

• Temperature Requirements: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Protect from frost and extreme temperature fluctuations.

• Humidity Requirements: Adapted to low humidity environments. Does not require additional misting.

• Propagation Methods: Propagate from stem cuttings or offsets. Allow cuttings or offsets to callus before planting in moist, well-draining soil.

• Care Difficulty: Low maintenance. Suitable for beginners and experienced growers alike.

• Additional Care Information:

• Fertilize sparingly with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Prune any dead or damaged stems to maintain the plant’s appearance and health.
• Protect from overwatering, as the Baby Necklace is susceptible to root rot. Ensure proper drainage and avoid leaving water in the pot saucer.
