Plant Care

Light Requirements: Bright, indirect light to several hours of gentle morning sun. Too much intense afternoon sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light causes stretching.

Water Requirements: Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry. During spring and summer, this is often every 2-3 weeks. In winter, water much less. About every 4-6 weeks or when the soil is fully dry. Never let it sit in water.

Fertilizer: Feed lightly once a month during spring and summer with a diluted cactus/succulent fertilizer (about half strength). Do not fertilize in fall or winter.

Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. You can improve the drainage by mixing in extra pumice, perlite, or coarse sand. A pot with drainage holes is essential.

Temperature: Ideal range is 60-80 degrees. Protect from frost and temperatures below 40 degrees.

Pet Safety: Toxic
