Quick Care Guide

Care Difficulty: This plant has easy care needs.

Light requirements: Likes bright but indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can cause the plant to burn. A few meters away from an east or west-facing window is ideal.

Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings, reducing further in winter. It is better to slightly underwater than overwater due to this plant's tendency for root rot.

Humidity: Can do well in average household conditions but will enjoy a boost of humidity when central heating is on. Group plants together or place them near a humidifier.

Toxicity: Non toxic to humans and pets

Feeding: Enjoys a feed around once a month in spring and summer.

Repotting: Doesn't need to be repotted regularly. Repot every 3 to 4 years using a Cactus and succulent mix. Pot up one size bigger with a container with good drainage.
