How to care for your Succulent

LIGHT

It prefers bright indirect light, but it is highly adaptable. It tolerates low light well, making it ideal for less sunny areas. It can also handle some direct sunlight.

WATER

It should be watered only when the soil is completely dry.

HUMIDITY
It does well in average indoor humidity levels.

TEMPERATURE

This plant thrives in temperatures between 60–85°F (16–29°C).

FOOD

Feed it once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a general-purpose succulent or cactus fertilizer. No feeding is needed during fall and winter.

PET FRIENDLYNESS

It is harmless to pets

Additional Tips
Well-draining soil mix, such as cactus soil or a blend of regular potting mix with perlite or coarse sand.

Slightly root-bound, so repot only when necessary.
