1. Space plants 5-6" apart in a medium of peat, sand, and perlite, like a typical cactus or succulent mixture.
2. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Underwatering is okay while overwatering can lead to root rot.
3. You may need to try a few different lighting locations indoors, but gradually expose this plant to increased light to prevent leaf drops or burning. Direct sunlight in the afternoon can burn leaves. This plant grows best in indirect light or 5-6 hours of full sun in the morning with afternoon shade.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
