Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers very bright light and can tolerate several hours of gentle direct sunlight. Introduce stronger sun gradually to help prevent leaf scorch.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings, then water deeply and let excess moisture drain completely. Water less frequently during winter and avoid allowing water to collect around the roots.
- Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Additional perlite or pumice can improve drainage and root aeration.
- Humidity: Prefers average to low household humidity with good air circulation. Avoid excessively humid or constantly damp conditions.
- Temperature: Grows well at approximately 18–27°C. Protect from frost, cold drafts, and prolonged temperatures below 10°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly every 6–8 weeks during spring and summer with a cactus or succulent fertilizer diluted according to label directions. Avoid over-fertilizing.
- Maintenance: Keep foliage and the soil surface clean and dry. Rotate the plant periodically to encourage balanced, upright growth.
- Pruning: Remove dried, damaged, or declining outer leaves near the base using a clean, sharp tool. Offsets can be separated once sufficiently established if propagation is desired.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes crowded or top-heavy, using a slightly larger container with excellent drainage.
Note: Plant size, leaf shape, color, and fullness may naturally vary from the product image. Plant pot may also vary in design. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
