Your care routine
Watering
Allow the upper 2–3 cm to dry before watering thoroughly and draining; fleshy leaves and stems are vulnerable to overwatering.
Soil & drainage
Free-draining indoor potting mix with perlite; use a pot with drainage holes.
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
Ordinary indoor humidity is usually adequate. Avoid persistently wet foliage in cool, still air.
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
- Yellow leaves with persistently wet compost can indicate root stress.
- Fine stippling or webbing can indicate spider mites; inspect leaf undersides.
Pets & little ones
Not for eating. Sap may irritate skin; use gloves when pruning if sensitive and keep away from children and pets.
