A space where it can thrive

Indoor hanging plant
Growing in a hanging basket
Use a gritty draining mix and let it dry between waterings. Handle gently: the fleshy leaves detach easily when the basket is moved.
Use a container with drainage and a secure support rated for its fully watered weight. Check moisture at the root ball and empty collected drainage water.

Your care routine
Watering
Let the mix dry thoroughly, then water fully and drain; use pot weight as well as surface dryness.
Soil & drainage
Gritty cactus and succulent mix enriched with pumice or perlite in a draining pot.
Fertilizer
Use a cactus/succulent liquid fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during active spring/summer growth, at the product label rate. Do not feed during winter rest or while roots are dry.
Temperature
Aim for 18–26°C indoors; protect from sudden temperature changes and cold drafts.
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
- Plump leaves detach easily when handled; position where stems will not be brushed.
- Persistently damp compost can rot the stem base and roots.
Pets & little ones
