Complete Care Guide
☀️ Light Requirements
Bright, direct sunlight to highly bright indirect sunlight. Thrives on warm, south or west-facing windowsills.
💧 Watering & Hydration
Drought-tolerant succulent. Water deeply, then allow the entire soil column to dry out completely bone-dry. Reduce to monthly in winter.
🌱 Perfect Potting Soil Mix
Porous, fast-draining gritty cactus and succulent soil mix containing sand and perlite.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Prefers very dry, warm air. High humidity and damp soil will lead to quick root rot.
🐾 Safety & Toxicity (Pet Report)
Contains aloin which is mildly toxic to cats and dogs if chewed. Place in bright sunny spots elevated from pets.
🩺 Troubleshooting & Common Care Issues
Common Problem: Mushy, brown, translucent leaves that drop flat.
