    Care Tips

    Requires strong light and good air circulation. Water sparingly, allowing the plant to dry completely between waterings. Avoid water accumulation at the base of the rosette, as this can cause rot. Tolerates brief periods of light frost down to approximately 3°C. Suitable for mounting on wood or cultivation in a well-draining, gritty substrate.
