Care & Growing Condition:
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate moderate light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
-
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.
-
Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity; consider misting the leaves or placing the pot on a water-filled tray with pebbles to increase humidity.
-
Soil: Use well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Alternatively, you can create your own mix by combining potting soil with sand or perlite for improved drainage.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
