Plant Care

Light Requirements: Provide at least 6 hours of bright sunlight daily whenever possible. Strong light helps maintain compact growth and flowering.

Water Requirements: Allow the soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain completely. Reduce watering substantially during winter dormancy.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced or flowering-plant fertilizer during spring and summer. Reduce or stop feeding during winter.

Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–85°F. Protect from cold temperatures and never expose the plant to freezing conditions.

Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.

Humidity: Average household humidity is suitable. Avoid prolonged wet or humid conditions.

Growth Habit: A sculptural succulent shrub with a swollen caudex, branching stems, and showy flowers in shades of pink, red, white, or yellow.
