Care Guide:

  • Placement: Indoor. It thrives in the driest of apartments. However, it needs as much direct sun as possible to prevent "leggy" growth.
  • Watering: The "Squeeze Test." If the leaves feel firm, don't water. If they feel slightly soft or wrinkled, give it a deep soak. Never let it sit in a saucer of water.
  • Soil: Use a cactus-style mix (60% inorganic like perlite or coarse sand).
  • Pruning: Do not use wound sealant. Let the cuts air-dry; they will callus over naturally.
