+Important KeysÂ
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct sunlight. It can also adapt to lower light levels, though growth may slow.
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common issue, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Avoid exposure to frost or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
- Humidity: Adapts well to low humidity levels, making it ideal for most indoor environments.
- Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Avoid heavy, water-retentive soils.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). No need to fertilize in the winter.
- Pruning: Remove dead or yellowing leaves to maintain its appearance. Overgrown stems can be cut back to encourage new growth.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but can occasionally attract spider mites or scale insects. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Propagation: Propagate through offsets (pups) that grow at the base of the plant or by cutting and rooting the stem.
- Growth: Can grow up to 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 meters) indoors, though growth is typically slow. Its architectural form makes it a striking focal point.
