Care Tips
Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or partial sun. Can tolerate some direct sun but needs protection from harsh afternoon rays.

Potting: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite for aeration.
Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to dry before planting.
