🌿 Care Guide

• ☀️ Light & Exposure: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Provide 2–3 hours of soft direct morning sun to intensify the pink and cream hues. Protect from harsh midday sun to avoid scorching the leaf edges.

• 💧 Moisture & Watering: Use the soak and dry method. Water thoroughly until it drains out, then let the medium dry completely before watering again. Highly drought-tolerant; yellowing leaves or mushy bases indicate overwatering.

• 🪵 Medium & Soil: Plant in a porous, fast draining cactus and succulent mix amended with perlite, pumice, or sand. Always use pots with drainage holes (terracotta or unglazed ceramic works best).

• 🌡️ Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in warm indoor temperatures between 18°C and 30°C. Protect from frost, cold drafts, and excessive rain during heavy monsoon periods.
