• Size: Typically grows up to 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) tall and spreads up to 1 foot (30 cm) wide.
• Hardiness: Tolerates temperatures down to 25°F (-4°C). USDA hardiness zones 9–11.
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight or light shade. Direct, intense sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may lead to leggy growth.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Add sand or perlite to improve drainage.
• Watering: Water thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering during the dormant winter season.
• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 60–80°F (15–27°C). Protect from frost and avoid overexposure to cold.
• Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or as needed to refresh the soil and accommodate growth.

Care Tips:

• Indoor Care: Place in a well-lit spot, such as near a south- or east-facing window. Ensure good air circulation to prevent mildew.
• Outdoor Care: Plant in a location with filtered sunlight and well-draining soil. Protect from heavy rain and freezing temperatures.
• Maintenance: Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove dead or dried-out stems. Fertilize sparingly with a diluted succulent fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer)
