Care at a glance
- Water
- Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems, so err on the side of underwatering.
- Light
- Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves.
- Humidity
- Average household humidity is perfectly adequate.
- Temperature
- Thrives in typical room temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
- Soil
- Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for succulents or cacti.
- Fertilizer
- Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer.
- Toxicity
- Toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
- Propagation
- Propagate easily by leaf cuttings or by dividing the rhizomes. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting them in moist soil.
