Caring Tips and Tricks:

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Protect from intense, direct sunlight, especially during the hottest part of the day.
2. Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid waterlogging the soil, as this can lead to root rot.
3. Soil: Plant in well-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent water retention and promote healthy root growth.
4. Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from frost and extreme cold temperatures.
5. Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and encourage new growth.
6. Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in soil.
7. Pest Control: Monitor for common succulent pests like aphids and mealybugs. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
8. Fertilization: Feed sparingly with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months.
