Care

General Maintenance: Can be propagated from stem cuttings, but they are very slow to root and grow. The plants overall are slow growing and like to be pot-bound, so they won’t require repotting very often. Replace some of the topsoil annually to provide new nutrients and prevent compaction of the soil.

Temperature: Indoor temperatures are ideal. They do not want to be below 10C. Avoid drafts and drastic temperature changes.

Light: These plants prefer bright indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch their leaves.

Watering: Water thoroughly only once the top few inches of soil are dry. These plants do store some water in their leaves. They are prone to root rot, so don’t overwater. Water less in the winter. Will benefit from some extra humidity but does not like water to sit on its leaves. Provide the humidity by placing in a humid area (like a kitchen or bathroom) or using a humidifier or pebble tray.

Soil: Any well-draining and well-aerated soil will work perfectly. Something with peat and perlite or bark would be ideal.

Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer every couple of months in the spring and summer. Do not fertilize in the winter. They can be prone to over-fertilizing, so watch for damaged/deformed leaves.
