🔆 Light Requirements

💧 Watering Guidelines

When to Water: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
Frequency: Every 2–3 weeks during the growing season; less often in winter.
Important: Overwatering is the most common cause of failure. Water deeply, then let it fully dry.

🌾 Soil & Potting

Soil: Use a gritty, well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Add sand or perlite for extra drainage.
