Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Ideal for windowsills with filtered light.
Watering Needs: Water thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce frequency during the winter months when growth slows down to prevent root rot.
Soil Preference: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. A mix containing sand or perlite helps improve drainage.
How to Fertilize: Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced fertilizer. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks, and avoid fertilizing during the dormant season.
Hardiness Zone: Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11. It can be grown outdoors in warm climates but should be protected from frost.
Pet Safety: Non-toxic to pets, but it's always best to keep plants out of reach to avoid any potential ingestion.
Additional Care Tips:
Can be propagated from offsets or leaf cuttings. Trim off any dead leaves as necessary. Repot every few years or when the plant outgrows its container, ensure the new pot has good drainage.
