🌞 Light & Placement

Requires bright, direct light. A south-facing window or sunroom is ideal. Rotate occasionally to maintain symmetry.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water sparingly—only when soil is fully dry. Avoid overwatering, especially in winter. Tolerates dry indoor air perfectly.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a cactus mix or add sand/perlite to standard soil for drainage. Repot every 2–3 years as it slowly gains height.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Toxic if ingested and may cause skin irritation due to milky sap. Handle with care and keep away from pets and children.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Grows slowly but can reach impressive indoor heights over time. Propagate from stem cuttings—let cut ends callous before planting.

🗖️ Seasonal & Special Care

Protect from frost. Reduce watering during winter dormancy. Clean dust off ribs with a soft brush.

🦠 Common Issues

Root rot from overwatering is the main risk. Watch for pests like mealybugs in dry climates.
