Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates direct sunlight. Ensure gradual exposure to direct sun to prevent scorching.
Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, as the plant stores water in its stems. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Thrives in dry conditions and does not require additional humidity. Avoid misting.
Feeding: Fertilize once every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer) with a cactus or succulent fertilizer.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. Protect from frost and temperatures below 50°F.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix to prevent water retention.
