Care

General Maintenance: These plants are very easy to take care of, repot once every 1-2 years in a pot one size larger until they have reached maximum size. Then repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil.

Temperature: Keeping these plants around regular household temperatures will allow these plants to thrive. They are hardy to cold temperatures as low as 10 degrees Celsius and can tolerate short amounts of time between 0-10 degrees.

Light: These plants love a lot of bright indirect light; be careful they don't get scorched!

Watering: These succulents hold a lot of moisture in their waxy leaves. As such they rarely need watering, water when the top 50% of soil is dry.

Soil: A succulent mix that provides good aeration and well-draining is best for these succulents. Mixing in Perlite or other gritty materials so the soil mixture is 1:1 will allow for best growth.

Fertilizer: These plants do not need much feeding, fertilize at half strength once every 2-3 months during the growing season (April - August).
