Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much intense sun can cause leaf scorch.
Watering Needs: Water thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when growth slows.
Soil Preference: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. A mix with sand or perlite will help improve drainage.
How to Fertilize: Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced fertilizer. Fertilizing every 4-6 weeks is usually sufficient.
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.
Additional Care Tips:
Can be propagated from offsets or leaf cuttings. Remove any dead or damaged leaves as necessary. Repot every few years or when the plant outgrows its container, ensuring good drainage in the new pot.
