Water thoroughly, but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Usually, once or twice a month is sufficient, more often in summer.
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Yellowing leaves are a common sign of overwatering. Also, check the base of the plant; if it feels soft or mushy, it is likely root rot.
Yes, fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant has outgrown its current pot.
Use a well-draining potting mix. A cactus or succulent mix works well.
While it can tolerate outdoor conditions, it prefers to be indoors. Protect it from direct sunlight if placed outside.
Reduce watering frequency. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Increase humidity around the plant, and avoid over-fertilizing. Ensure the plant is not exposed to direct sunlight.
This is a sign of root rot. Repot the plant in fresh, well-draining soil, and reduce watering.
