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.
