Care Instructions:

    Light: Needs full sun or very bright light – at least 6 hours a day

    Watering: Water thoroughly only when soil is completely dry – reduce in cooler months

    Soil: Use a very well-draining succulent or cactus mix

    Humidity: Prefers dry air – no extra humidity needed

    Feeding: Use a low-nitrogen cactus feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer

    Temperature: Loves heat – 20–30°C ideal. Keep above 10°C and protect from frost

    Dormancy: May drop leaves and go dormant in winter – reduce watering drastically

🌿 Tip: The more light it gets, the thicker and more dramatic the base becomes – place it in the sunniest spot you’ve got!
