Care

• Temperature : It develops well at temperatures between 18°C ​​and 27°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 10°C, as it can be harmful.

• Humidity : It does not require high humidity. Normal humidity conditions in the house are sufficient for healthy growth.

• Soil : Prefers a well-drained, porous soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ​​ideal.

• Fertilization : Fertilization is not necessary frequently. Apply a diluted fertilizer for succulents once a month during the period of active growth (spring-summer).

• Transplanting : It is done when the roots become too crowded in the pot. It is recommended to be carried out at the beginning of spring.

• Common problems : Overwatering is the most common problem, which can lead to root rot.
