🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, direct sunlight for several hours daily to maintain vibrant coloration and compact growth.

• Tolerates: Strong indirect light indoors, though the rosette may open or stretch slightly.

• Avoid: Prolonged low light — leads to pale, leggy growth — and harsh, unfiltered midday sun in hot climates, which can scorch leaves.

💧 Watering Guidelines

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

• Frequency: Every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer; reduce to once a month in cooler months.

• Important: Water deeply but infrequently. Avoid getting water trapped in the rosette center, as this can cause rot. Always ensure excellent drainage.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice.

• Pot: A shallow terracotta pot with drainage holes helps prevent moisture buildup and supports root health.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during the active growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted cactus fertilizer.

• Avoid: Fertilizing in fall and winter, or using nitrogen-heavy general-purpose plant food.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Rarely necessary — simply remove any dead or dried outer leaves to maintain a tidy appearance.

• Repotting: Every 2–3 years, or when the plant outgrows its container. Refresh the soil at repotting for renewed nutrients.

• Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf cuttings or offsets (pups) for creating new rosettes.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers dry air — avoid humid environments and excess misting.

• Temperature: Thrives between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from frost; keep above 10°C (50°F).
