Light Requirements: Prefers bright, direct light to full sun. Some species can tolerate partial shade, but insufficient light can cause leggy growth.
Watering Needs: Water thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce frequency in winter when growth slows.
Soil Preference: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. A mix with sand or perlite can improve drainage.
How to Fertilize: Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or skip fertilization in fall and winter.
Hardiness Zone: Generally suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11, but specific tolerances may vary by species.
Pet Safety: Non-toxic to pets, but it’s best to keep plants out of reach.
Additional Care Tips: Can be propagated easily from leaf cuttings or offsets. Remove any dead or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth. Repot every 1-2 years or as needed to refresh the soil and provide more space for growth.
