🔆 Light Requirements
Ideal Light: Bright, direct sunlight (4–6 hours daily) keeps it compact and colorful.
Tolerates: Bright indoor light or partial sun outdoors.
Avoid: Low-light areas — it will become leggy and lose vibrancy.
💧 Watering Guidelines
When to Water: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry.
Frequency: Every 2–3 weeks during active growth; reduce in winter.
Important: Use the “soak and dry” method. Avoid water sitting in the rosette to prevent rot.
🌾 Soil & Potting
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add extra perlite or pumice for improved drainage.
Pot: A pot with drainage holes is essential. Terra cotta pots help wick away excess moisture.
🌱 Fertilization
Feed: Once a month in spring and summer with a diluted cactus fertilizer.
Avoid: Fertilizing in fall/winter or overfeeding, which can harm roots.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Prune: Remove any dried or dead lower leaves to maintain a clean rosette.
Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf cuttings or offsets (pups) that form around the base.
Cleaning: Use a soft brush or air blower to remove dust without disturbing the powdery coating (farina).
🪴 Humidity & Temperature
Humidity: Prefers dry air; do not mist.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–30°C (65–86°F). Keep away from frost (not frost-tolerant).
