This plant thrives in bright indirect light, which means it needs a well-lit space without harsh direct sunlight. Ideal locations include east or north-facing windows, or spots near south or west-facing windows with filtered light through a sheer curtain to protect its foliage.

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.

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.

For these plants, use a balanced liquid fertilizer (such as 10-10-10 or 20-20-20) at half strength every 3–4 weeks during the growing season. They thrive with gentle, regular feeding to support healthy foliage and roots. A slow-release fertilizer applied once in spring also works well. In winter, reduce or stop feeding as growth slows.

You can also enrich the soil by mixing in a small amount of well-aged compost or vermicompost every 2–3 months. This provides a steady source of organic nutrients and improves soil structure, helping the plants stay healthy over time.
