This beauty loves bright, direct or indirect light. Place it on a sunny windowsill or near a bright light source for 6–8 hours of light daily. Protect it from scorching afternoon sun.
💧 Water
Water thoroughly but only when the soil is completely dry—usually every 2–3 weeks. Avoid letting water sit on the rosettes, as this can lead to rot. In winter, water sparingly.

Use a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix to keep its roots healthy. Pots with drainage holes are essential to avoid soggy soil.
