Care Information
Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal for maintaining vibrant pink colouration. Can tolerate some direct morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays which can fade the pink tones.
Water:
Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow soil to dry out between waterings as the succulent leaves store moisture. Reduce watering during winter months.
Humidity: Tolerates average home humidity levels. No special humidity requirements needed due to its succulent nature.
Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 18-26°C, with a minimum of 12°C. Protect from frost and cold drafts.
Soil: Plant in well-draining succulent mix or
Aroid Mix with added perlite for improved drainage.
Support: Trailing growth habit requires no support. Perfect for hanging baskets or cascading from shelves and plant stands.
Fertiliser: Feed monthly with diluted
GT Foliage during the growing season, reducing feeding in winter.
Toxicity: Generally considered non-toxic, but as with all plants, keep away from children and pets to prevent any potential irritation.
