Know before you buy
This succulent thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a sunny window is ideal, but avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves.
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Because it is a succulent, it stores water in its leaves and is prone to root rot if kept consistently damp.
Yes, the plant arrives in a 6-inch pot and includes a hanging mechanism, so it is ready to display immediately upon arrival.
Absolutely. Its preference for infrequent watering and ability to adapt to indoor environments make it a low-maintenance, forgiving plant for those new to houseplant care.
The plant typically measures approximately 13 inches in length. As it grows, the stems will continue to trail further, creating a beautiful cascading effect.
