Care instructions

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings and avoid overwatering, as this succulent is drought tolerant. Water deeply and infrequently, ensuring the soil is well-drained.

Soil

Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix to provide adequate drainage for the plant. The soil should be slightly sandy and have good airflow.

Sunlight

Place the plant in a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can cause sunburn. Protect it from intense midday sun.

Prunning

Prune as needed to maintain the desired shape and size of the plant. Remove any dead or damaged leaves or stems. Pruning can also help encourage branching and a fuller appearance.

Fertilser

Fertilize sparingly during the active growing season with a balanced succulent fertilizer. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for application rates and frequency.

Pests & Disease

Monitor the plant for common succulent pests such as mealybugs and scale insects. If detected, treat the infestation promptly with an appropriate insecticide or by manually removing the pests. Watch out for signs of rot or fungal diseases and adjust watering accordingly to prevent overmoist conditions.
