Detailed information on growing and care
⭐
Growing conditions
lighting
Bright indirect light! - Likes bright light but not strong direct sun that will burn the "pearls". An east or west window is ideal.
Irrigation
Very little! - Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. The pearls store water! Overwatering = death.
ground
Very well drained! Mix for cacti and succulents. Add perlite or sand for excellent drainage.
temperature
Normal room - 18-24°C ideal. Does not tolerate cold below 10°C. Keep away from air conditioners and drafts.
