🌞 Light Requirements
· Prefers bright sunlight (4–6 hours of direct sun daily).
· Can tolerate partial shade, but too little light can fade its variegation.
· In very hot climates, some afternoon shade helps prevent leaf burn.
💧 Watering
· Follow the “soak and dry” method: water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again.
· Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
· Avoid letting water sit in the rosette, as this can cause rot.
🌱 Soil
· Needs well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
· You can improve drainage by mixing in pumice, perlite, or coarse sand.
🌡️ Temperature
· Thrives in warm climates (20–30°C).
· Can tolerate brief dips to -2°C, but protect from frost—especially variegated forms, which are less cold-hardy.
🍽️ Fertilizer
· Feed lightly during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted succulent fertilizer once a month.
· Avoid fertilizing in winter.
