Care Guide

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Shield it from intense afternoon sun, especially in warmer months.

• Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the fastest way to harm this drought-loving plant.

• Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining soil mix designed for succulents and cacti.

• Fertilizer: Feed once a month during spring and summer with a diluted succulent fertilizer to encourage healthy growth.

Perfect For

• Hanging baskets and vertical displays

• Small-space styling or window sills
