🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight to maintain vibrant leaf variegation.

• Tolerates: Partial sun or filtered light indoors.

• Avoid: Prolonged low light — leaves may lose variegation or stretch — and harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings.

• Frequency: Every 2–3 weeks during the growing season; reduce to once a month in winter.

• Important: Overwatering is the most common cause of decline. Ensure water drains fully from the pot to prevent root rot.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Use a well-draining succulent/cactus mix with added sand or perlite.

• Pot: A small terracotta or ceramic pot with drainage holes is ideal to prevent water retention.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted succulent fertilizer.

• Avoid: Fertilizing in winter or using nitrogen-heavy general-purpose fertilizers.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Remove any shriveled or damaged leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. Trim overgrown stems if needed to shape the plant.

• Repotting: Every 2–3 years or when roots become crowded. Refresh soil during repotting.

• Propagation: Easily propagated via leaf or stem cuttings, especially from healthy variegated sections.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers dry air and typical household humidity. Avoid overly humid conditions.

• Temperature: Thrives in 18–27°C (65–80°F). Keep above 10°C (50°F); frost-sensitive.
