Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light and can tolerate some gentle direct sun. It will adapt to lower light, although growth may be slower.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water thoroughly and let excess moisture drain away; reduce watering significantly during cooler months.
- Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent mix to help prevent excess moisture around the roots.
- Humidity: Average to low household humidity is ideal. Avoid consistently damp or poorly ventilated conditions.
- Temperature: Prefers warm conditions around 18–29°C. Protect from frost, cold drafts, and temperatures below approximately 10°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed sparingly during spring and summer with a diluted cactus, succulent, or balanced houseplant fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilizing.
- Maintenance: Keep foliage clean and ensure the plant has excellent drainage. Avoid allowing water to remain around the base of the leaves.
- Pruning: Little pruning is required. Remove damaged or declining leaves with a clean, sharp tool when necessary.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes crowded. Choose a slightly larger container with drainage holes and avoid oversized pots.
Note: Plant pot may vary in design from the product image. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
