Care Tips for Thriving Growth

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light or gentle morning sun to enhance the purple coloration. Protect from harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.

• Watering: Adopt a "drench and dry" approach—water thoroughly when the soil is dry, allowing it to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering during the summer dormancy period.

• Soil: Use well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix, to prevent root rot.

• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect from frost and extreme heat.

• Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season for vibrant growth.
