Care Guide

• Light: Thrives in indirect sunlight but can tolerate low light conditions. Ideally, provide about 6-8 hours of indirect sunlight per day for optimal growth. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching.
• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so water sparingly, approximately every 2-4 weeks.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix, is ideal to prevent waterlogging.
• Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer), and avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months.
• Pruning: Trim dead or yellowing leaves as needed to maintain a tidy appearance.
• Propagation: Easily propagated by division or leaf cuttings, making it a great plant for sharing with friends and family.
