Growing Instructions:

Prefers full sun to partial shade. It thrives in strong light but should be protected from the harshest midday sun. Requires typical succulent watering—allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot., Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Adding perlite or sand can enhance drainage. Thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 15°C to 27°C (60°F to 80°F). It does not handle frost well and should be kept indoors in colder climates. Moderate humidity levels are preferred. Mist occasionally if the air is too dry. 

Ships as a bare stem cutting that may or may not have roots beginning to develop. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰
