Bright, direct sunlight is ideal; most succulents need at least 4–6 hours of light daily.
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings; water sparingly to prevent rot.
Feed every 2–3 months during the growing season with a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer.
Repot every 2–3 years or when outgrowing their container; spring is best.
