What this plant needs

Where should it go?

Indoors, choose a bright spot away from air conditioner drafts and hot window glass; there is no need to mist the leaves, even when the air is dry. On a balcony, protect it from midday sun in summer, and from prolonged rain and temperatures below about 10 degrees in winter.

When should I water?

Before watering, use a wooden skewer to check that the potting mix is dry deeper down too, and that the pot feels light when lifted. Only then water until water comes out of the drainage holes, and empty the saucer or decorative outer pot. Soft, yellow leaves together with wet potting mix suggest overwatering. Wrinkled leaves together with very dry potting mix may indicate thirst.

What should I do first?

Remove the wrapping and check that the drainage holes are open. Place near a bright window, away from air conditioner drafts, and check the potting mix below the surface before watering. Keep it in its current pot as long as it drains and is not significantly crowded.

You can feed lightly when you see new growth in spring and summer. Skip feeding when growth stops, in winter, or when the plant shows signs of rot.

Growth and life cycle

You get an evergreen perennial with upright, fleshy leaves that store water. New shoots grow from the base through rhizomes beneath the potting mix.

What to watch for

If you notice a soft base, yellowing leaves, or a bad smell from the potting mix, check for excess water and rot. Pale, dry patches after moving the plant into the sun can indicate scorching.

Pruning and tidying

Wipe dust off the leaves with a damp cloth, and leave healthy leaves untrimmed. You can remove a leaf that has rotted or dried out completely near the base with a clean tool.

Propagation

You can propagate it by separating an offshoot with its own roots when repotting. This also preserves the leaf pattern of the parent plant.

Pot

Choose a stable pot with drainage holes, just a little larger than the root ball, not a much larger container. If you add a decorative outer pot, make sure you can take the plant pot out and empty the water easily.

Choose an airy potting mix for cacti and succulents that does not stay soaked for long. The pot needs open drainage holes, with no standing water underneath.
