Care
Light: Give it bright light to full sun, acclimating gradually to stronger direct sunlight. Water: Allow the potting mix to dry well between thorough waterings, and water less often in winter; check the soil rather than following a fixed calendar. Always let excess water drain. Soil: Use a fast-draining succulent-style mix. Temperature: Aim for a warm indoor spot around 65–85°F. Trim dry leaf tips or brown leaves as needed.
