Know before you buy
Yes, this plant is non-toxic to both humans and pets, making it a safe choice for households with curious animals.
The vibrant red edges are a stress response to light. To achieve this look, place your plant in a spot that receives plenty of bright, direct sunlight.
As a drought-tolerant succulent, it prefers to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season, water sparingly, and reduce frequency even further during the winter months.
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. For optimal drainage, you can amend the soil with extra perlite or pumice to ensure the roots do not sit in excess moisture.
Absolutely. Its natural trailing growth habit makes it an excellent candidate for hanging baskets or elevated planters where its vines can drape gracefully.
Propagation is quite straightforward. You can easily grow new plants by taking stem or leaf cuttings and allowing them to callous before placing them in a well-draining succulent soil mix.
