It grows up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall and spreads to form mats up to 12 inches (30 cm) wide. The plant produces star-shaped flowers that are neon yellow/green.Growing Instructions: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. It can also grow in light shade. Use a gritty, well-drained soil. A commercial cactus or succulent mix works well. Mildly alkaline soil with a pH of 7.5 to 8.5. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Water regularly during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce watering in the dormant season (fall and winter). It is very heat-resistant and can tolerate quite cold temperatures and light frost. Ideal temperatures are between 50°F (10°C) and 80°F (27°C). Use a balanced, diluted fertilizer. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures.
