Know before you buy
Yes, this succulent is non-toxic to both humans and pets, making it a safe choice for households with cats or dogs.
To keep the creamy white variegation vibrant, place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light or direct sun. If the plant doesn't receive enough light, the leaves may lose their distinct color and turn more solid green.
This plant requires very little water. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, and always use a well-draining succulent mix to ensure excess moisture can escape.
This variety is best suited for indoor environments. It thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F and prefers the controlled climate of a home rather than fluctuating outdoor conditions.
Not at all. It is easily propagated from leaf or stem cuttings, which makes it a great choice if you are interested in expanding your collection or sharing the plant with others.
