Setup, Compatibility & Care

Potting: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mixture specifically designed for succulents or a standard potting mix amended with perlite works well.
Light: Place the plant in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water sparingly, only once or twice a month. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months.
Temperature: Maintain average room temperatures between 18°C to 24°C (65°F to 75°F).
Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot. Re-pot the plant every one to two years, or when it outgrows its current pot.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Protect the plant from direct sunlight, which can cause leaf damage.
