Your care routine

Light

Very bright window light, with some sun introduced gradually; protect from sudden intense exposure.

Watering

Allow the potting mix to dry between thorough waterings, then drain completely. Water sparingly in cool, darker winter conditions.

Soil & drainage

Gritty cactus and succulent mix enriched with pumice or perlite in a draining pot.

Fertilizer

During active spring and summer growth, use a balanced houseplant fertilizer at the label rate. Reduce or stop feeding when growth slows; never fertilize a dry or stressed root ball.

Temperature

Aim for 18–26°C indoors; protect from cold drafts and sudden changes in temperature.

Humidity

Average to low household humidity; maintain airflow and dry leaf surfaces.

Through the seasons

During darker Metro Vancouver autumn and winter days, check moisture before watering and lengthen the interval as growth slows. Reassess daylight in spring and repot only if roots crowd the container.

When your plant needs help

  • Stretched pale growth indicates insufficient light.
  • Blackened soft bases suggest rot from prolonged moisture.
