Care Guide

Light

Needs bright, direct sunlight for 4–6 hours daily. Best placed near a sunny south- or west-facing window. Insufficient light causes stretching (leggy growth).

Water

Follow the “soak and dry” method – water thoroughly, then let soil dry out completely. In summer: water every 1–2 weeks depending on climate. In winter: water once a month or less. Avoid water sitting on rosettes to prevent rot.

Temperature & Humidity

Thrives in 18–27°C (65–80°F). Keep above 10°C (50°F). Prefers dry air; no extra humidity required.

Soil & Potting

Use well-draining cactus/succulent soil mix. Add sand, perlite, or pumice for improved drainage. Terracotta pots are best for avoiding water buildup.

Fertilizing

Feed once a month during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted cactus/succulent fertilizer. Stop feeding in winter dormancy.

Pruning & Maintenance

Remove dead or dried leaves at the base to prevent pests. Pinch off faded flower stalks after blooming. Rotate occasionally for even light exposure.

Propagation

Propagates easily from leaf cuttings or offsets (pups). Allow leaves/cuttings to callus before planting in dry soil. Roots form within 2–4 weeks in warm conditions.

Common Problems & Solutions

Leggy growth: Not enough sunlight → Move to a brighter spot. Rotting leaves/roots: Overwatering → Water less and improve drainage. Brown tips/burns: Too much intense heat → Provide partial shade. Pests (mealybugs/aphids): Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
