Plant Care Needs

• ☀: Place in bright, indirect sunlight. The Chocolate Panda Plant thrives in partial shade but can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in cooler climates.

• 💦: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Water sparingly, approximately every 10-14 days, depending on environmental conditions.

• 🪨: 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!

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

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

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

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

• 💭:

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