plant tips

  • water

    Water only when the soil is completely dry — every 3 to 4 weeks is usually enough. Always water at the base of the plant and avoid getting water in the center of the rosette to prevent rot.

  • light

    Thrives in bright to medium indirect light but adapts well to lower light conditions. Keep away from intense direct sun which can scorch the leaves.

  • zone

    Houseplant.

  • size

    Grows just 6–8 in. tall and wide — perfectly compact for any tabletop, desk, or shelf.
