💡 Light: Loves bright, indirect light and can handle some gentle morning sun.
💧 Water: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. It's a succulent, so less is more!
🌱 Humidity: Prefers drier air. No need for misting.
🌡️ Temperature: Keep warm, away from cold draughts or overly damp spots.
🚫 Toxicity: Toxic if ingested. Keep away from curious pets and children!
🌿 Top Tip: Prune regularly to encourage a fuller, bushier plant and don’t toss the cuttings! They root easily for more planty goodness.
