Know before you buy
Yes, this plant is non-toxic to both pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with curious animals.
To keep the vibrant reddish-orange leaf edges, this plant prefers full sun. While it can tolerate bright, indirect light, it may lose some of its intense coloration if kept in lower light conditions.
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Proper drainage is essential to prevent root rot, as this plant is drought-tolerant and sensitive to excess moisture.
No, this is a drought-tolerant succulent that prefers to dry out between waterings. Allow the soil to dry completely before providing more water, especially during the winter months.
Absolutely. As long as you provide a spot with plenty of bright light and maintain a temperature between 70°F and 85°F, it will thrive indoors as a houseplant.
