Plant Care Needs

• ☀️: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sunlight, particularly in the morning or late afternoon.

• 💦: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, typically every 2-3 weeks during the growing season, and reduce frequency in winter.

• 🪨: Well-draining soil mix is essential. Use a cactus or succulent mix amended with perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage. We recommend Tits & Grit Cacti & Succulent Mix!

• 🌡️: Thrives in average to warm temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect from frost and freezing temperatures.

• ☁: Low to moderate humidity levels are suitable. Avoid overly humid conditions to prevent fungal issues.

• ✂: Easily propagated from stem or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

• ⚖: Low maintenance once established. Suitable for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.

• 💭:

•  Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Ensure adequate drainage to prevent water from pooling around the roots.
• Fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing in winter.
• Prune leggy or dead growth to encourage bushier growth and maintain the plant’s attractive appearance.
• Keep an eye out for signs of pests such as aphids or mealybugs, and treat promptly if detected.
• Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth and prevent it from becoming lopsided.
