Know before you buy
Being monocarpic means the plant will flower once in its life cycle, typically in late summer, and then slowly decline after the bloom. While this is a natural end to the plant's life, it is a unique feature that produces striking yellow flowers.
Unlike many succulents that prefer to dry out completely, the 'Kiwi' requires moderate watering and is not drought-tolerant. You should keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to maintain its vibrant foliage.
No, this plant is toxic to pets. It is best to place it in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals, such as a high shelf or a room they do not frequent.
To keep the foliage vibrant with its signature pink and red borders, place the plant in a spot that receives bright, indirect light. Direct, harsh sun may scorch the leaves, while too little light will cause the colors to fade.
Yes, it arrives fully established in a 4-inch round pot. You can place it directly in your space as soon as it arrives, though you may choose to repot it into a decorative container once it has acclimated to your home.
