✅ Light
- Prefers bright, indirect light.
- Can tolerate some direct morning sun, but too much harsh sun can scorch its leaves.
- Low-light tolerant but grows best with filtered sunlight.
💧 Watering
- Water only when the soil is completely dry (every 2-3 weeks in summer, less in winter).
- Use the soak-and-dry method: Water deeply, then allow soil to dry out completely before watering again.
- Avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot.
🌱 Soil
- Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
- Adding perlite or sand improves drainage.
- Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water buildup.

- Prefers low to moderate humidity; no need for misting.
🌿 Fertilizing
- Feed with a diluted succulent fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.
- No need to fertilize in fall and winter.
✂️ Propagation & Repotting
- Propagate by removing offsets (pups) and planting them in dry soil.
- Repot every 2-3 years, or when it outgrows its pot.
