Care instructions

This succulent likely requires well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight (at least 6 hours of direct sun per day), as its yellowing might suggest insufficient light. Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-4 weeks, depending on environmental conditions. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot. Protect from frost. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a diluted succulent fertilizer.
