Plant Care
Light: Loves bright, indirect light but adapts well to medium light. Avoid prolonged direct sun, which can scorch leaves.
Watering: Let the top few centimetres of soil dry out between waterings. Its succulent-like leaves store moisture, so err on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering.
Temperature: Ideal range is 18–26°C. Keep above 15°C and away from draughts or cold windows in winter.
Potting: Thrives in A Sandy Loam mix for free-draining yet moisture-retentive conditions.
Hot tips: Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them glossy and dust-free. Rotate for even growth and avoid soggy soil to prevent root rot.
