Know before you buy
As a succulent, this plant prefers to dry out completely between waterings. Because it has low water requirements, you should only water it when the soil is fully dry to the touch to prevent root rot.
This variety performs best in bright, indirect light. While it is quite hardy, avoid placing it in harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It is toxic if ingested, so it is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to cats and dogs.
Your plant arrives as an established specimen, meaning it is already rooted and ready to be displayed in your home immediately.
No, the 'Bantel's Sensation' has a slow growth rate. It is a low-maintenance plant that maintains its compact, upright shape over a long period.
While it is primarily grown for its striking foliage, this plant can produce cream-colored flowers annually if it is happy in its environment. Flowering is a pleasant bonus rather than a guarantee.
