Grow in well-drained potting mix (loam-based or cactus compost) in bright, indirect light; tolerates lower light but growth slows. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings – overwatering causes root rot. Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring to summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength. Keep temperatures above 10°C (50°F) – avoid cold drafts. Reduce watering in winter.
