The plant photos shown are our stock images used to represent the general appearance, size, and quality of the plant you’ll receive. Please remember that each plant is unique—natural variations in color, shape, and size are completely normal!

Light

• Prefers full sun to bright light.

• Indoors: place in the brightest window (south or west).

• More sun enhances the red edging and bold coloration.

Water

• Allow soil to dry completely before watering.

• Water deeply, then drain thoroughly.

• Water very sparingly in winter.

• Soft or yellowing leaves indicate overwatering.

Humidity

• Prefers low humidity.

• Do not mist.

Temperature

• Ideal range: 65–90°F.

• Can tolerate short dips to about 25–30°F if kept dry, but prolonged cold can damage leaves.

• Protect from freezing when in pots.

Soil

• Use gritty, fast-draining succulent/cactus soil.

• Add extra pumice, perlite, or coarse sand for improved drainage.

Fertilizer

• Feed once in spring with a diluted cactus fertilizer.

• No need to fertilize heavily.

Potting & Repotting

• Use pots with excellent drainage; terracotta is ideal.

• Repot every 2–3 years or when roots fill the container.

• Do not use oversized pots — they hold too much moisture.

Common Issues

• Mushy leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

• Stretching: Not enough sunlight.

• Brown spots: Water trapped in the crown or sunburn after sudden light change.

• Leaf tip browning: Normal aging or underwatering.
