Super Hardy, Easy to Care

Place in direct early morning (until 11am) sunlight for vibrant colours (v imp) and provide indirect bright light throughout the day. Ideal by windows or balconies.

Light plays a crucial role in the watering routine for your succulents. Once you’ve thoroughly watered your succulent and the soil is saturated, it’s essential to provide the right amount of light to support healthy growth and prevent issues like overwatering.

Begin with 5-10ml during the initial two waterings. Post acclimatization, water your succulent until excess water drains from the bottom. Maintain a watering interval of every 7-10 days or when the soil remains dry for 4-5 days between waterings.

While the surface may seem dry, probe a stick into the pot’s base to gauge moisture levels. Remember, an underwatered succulent is far better than an overwatered one, there’s no coming back from overwatering.
