Care & Growing Condition:
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may hinder flowering.
-
Water: Allow the 3/4 top soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains out. Typically, watering every 2-3 weeks in the growing season (spring and summer) is sufficient.
-
Humidity: This plant prefers moderate to high humidity but can adapt to average household conditions. If the air is particularly dry, consider misting the plant occasionally or placing a humidifier nearby.
-
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 to summer). During fall and winter, reduce or cease fertilization.
