Why Homeowners Love It

Planting & Care
Select a location receiving at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight daily and plant in well-draining soil or cactus mix. Dig a hole matching the root ball width and set the plant at the same depth it was growing in its container. Water thoroughly after planting, then allow the soil to dry completely between waterings—succulents prefer dry conditions and are prone to root rot in soggy soil. Feed sparingly in spring with diluted succulent fertilizer, and remove any damaged or overgrown stems to maintain its naturally upright shape.
