Plant care:
It likes very bright places, however, avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day. It prefers environments with low humidity.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 10 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately in spring and summer but only when the soil is completely dry and suspend watering completely in winter.
The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
