☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to keep yellow variegation strong

💧 Water

• Water sparingly — let the soil dry out completely between waterings

• In winter, water once every 4–6 weeks

• Use a gritty, fast-draining mix (cactus soil + perlite/pumice)

• Thick leaves store water — overwatering is the only real danger

🌡️ Temperature

• Use a gentle cactus or general houseplant fertilizer

• No feeding in winter

🌱 Quick Tips
