Care guide
- Light: Provide bright, filtered light or gentle morning sun. Protect it from prolonged harsh midday sun, especially outdoors in hot weather.
- Water: Water thoroughly only after the mix has dried completely, then let excess drain. Water less often during cool or dormant periods; avoid keeping the soil wet.
- Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes.
- Temperature: Keep warm and frost-free. Protect from prolonged cold and freezing temperatures.
- Humidity: Average indoor humidity is suitable. Good airflow is helpful; misting is not needed.
- Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, feed lightly with diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer according to its label. Skip feeding while growth is paused.
- Pruning: Trim long or damaged stems as needed to maintain the shape. Healthy cuttings can be used for propagation.
- Repotting: Repot when roots fill the container or the mix breaks down, using a slightly larger pot with drainage.
- Propagation: Let stem cuttings callus briefly, then lay or place them on dry, well-draining mix until they root.
