✅ Light

💧 Watering
- Drought-tolerant—water every 2–3 weeks or when the soil is completely dry.
- Water less in winter (once a month is enough).
- Avoid overwatering, as it causes root rot.
🌱 Soil
- Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
- Adding perlite or sand improves drainage.

🌿 Fertilizing
- Feed with a diluted succulent fertilizer every 1–2 months in spring and summer.
- No need to fertilize in winter.
✂️ Propagation & Repotting
- Propagate by division (separating pups) or leaf cuttings.
- Repot every 2-3 years, or when roots outgrow the pot.
