Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant patterns. Tolerates medium light but avoid low light, which may dull its colors.

- Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
- Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for succulents.
