🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight or filtered light promotes strong, compact growth.

• Tolerates: Some direct morning or late afternoon sun; can adapt to moderate indoor light.

• Avoid: Harsh midday sun, which may scorch leaves, and very low light, which causes stretching (etiolation).

💧 Watering Guidelines

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

• Frequency: About once every 2–3 weeks, adjusting for season and indoor humidity.

• Important: Overwatering can cause root or leaf rot; ensure the soil drains well.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Well-draining succulent or cactus mix with sand, perlite, or pumice.

• Pot: Shallow pots with drainage holes; terracotta is ideal to prevent excess moisture.

🌱 Fertilization

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

• Avoid: Fertilizing in fall and winter when growth naturally slows.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Remove dried or damaged leaves at the base to maintain clean rosettes.

• Repotting: Every 2–3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Refresh soil during repotting.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers dry conditions; average indoor humidity is fine.

• Temperature: Thrives between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from frost and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
