Plant Care 

Light: Likes bright direct light but will tolerate bright indirect.

Watering: Wait until the soil is arid, then give it a good soak. Think drought and then tropical downpour. In winter months, cut wayyyyy back on the watering, and give it a drink when you notice it starting to pucker. 

Temperature: This plant prefers to be warm, so avoid placing it below 10°C or any sudden temperature fluctuations. 

Potting: A terracotta pot and succulent mix are ideal for these. Our Savvy Succa mix does the trick for this plant. 

Hot tips: The sap from this plant can irritate the skin, so be sure to wear gloves when handling. 

Pet Friendly: NO
