Difficulty: Moderate
Light:
This plant thrives in full sun, meaning it requires at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Ideal locations include south- or west-facing balconies, terraces, open gardens, or window sills that receive strong sunlight for most of the day.
Water:
Water only when the soil is completely dry .Usually every 10–15 days. Avoid waterlogging, as succulents are prone to root rot. Use pots with good drainage.
Growing Media:
30–40% Coarse Sand: Ensures fast drainage and prevents water retention.
20–30% Perlite/Pumice: Improves aeration and keeps the mix light.
20–30% Crushed Brick/Granules: Adds structure and mimics native arid soils.
10–20% Leaf Compost (well-decomposed): Provides minimal organic nutrition.
Optional: A handful of horticultural charcoal to prevent rot and absorb impurities.This gritty, well-draining mix is perfect for preventing root rot and supporting healthy, compact growth in India's warm and dry to humid climates.
