Light Details

Give the brightest spot you have. A south or west window with several hours of direct sun is ideal. If moving from lower light, acclimate over 7 to 10 days so foliage does not scorch.

Watering Details

Water deeply, then let the mix dry almost completely. Frequency drops a lot in winter or in lower light. Water deeply, then allow the mix to dry almost completely or completely before watering again. Dry periods are part of the care routine, so do not top off small amounts of water while the root ball is still damp.

Humidity Details

Normal indoor humidity is fine. Good airflow matters more than extra humidity, and overly damp stagnant air can create problems.

Soil Details

Use a fast-draining mix with lots of mineral grit or perlite. Terracotta pots and drainage holes are helpful because they let the root zone dry quickly.

Temperature

Best around 60 to 85°F; protect from frost and prolonged cold wet conditions.

Feeding Details

Feed sparingly in warm months and favor brighter light over more frequent watering.

Grooming / Training

Remove dead lower leaves to prevent pests. Pinch or prune leggy growth and reroot cuttings if needed.

Repotting

Repot every 1 to 2 years into a gritty mix and a pot with drainage.

Common Issues

Mushy stems mean overwatering; stretched, floppy growth means too little light.

Seasonal Notes

Most indoor succulents need much less water in winter.

What Not To Do

Do not mist or keep the crown wet.

Safety Details

Check Variety. Keep out of reach of pets.
