Plant Care 

Light: Bright indirect light, can tolerate lower light, but won't grow as well or give you as many lovely colours. Direct sun can scorch the lovely leaves.  

Watering: As a semi-succulent, they don't need loads of water. Water when the top inch of the soil is dry. This plant likes to be moist but don't overwater. We find bottom watering to be best.

Temperature: 15-27°C is ideal, but it can tolerate down to 10°C

Potting: A well-draining and moisture-retaining mix is best. The sandy loam mix is a good fit. 

Hot tips: This is an easily propagated plant, which is great as they only have a short life span, so be sure to take cuttings, and your plant will live on forever!
