Plant Care Guide

☀️ Light: Thrives in full sun. Can tolerate partial shade, though best colour develops with direct sunlight.

💧 Water: Water moderately in warmer months. Allow soil to fully dry between watering. Reduce watering significantly over winter to avoid root rot.

🌱 Soil: Requires sharply draining gritty succulent/cactus mix. Good drainage is critical.

🌡️ Climate: Frost protection recommended for young plants. Mature plants can withstand light frosts.
