🌞 Light & Placement

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can handle some morning sun, but avoid scorching midday rays. Perfect for east- or west-facing windows in German homes.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water sparingly—ideal for those who often forget. Let soil almost fully dry between waterings. Prefers moderate humidity; typical indoor air is fine.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Best in a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. The 17 cm pot ensures good root space. Repot every 2–3 years to refresh soil and support growth.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Non-toxic to pets on contact—safe in homes with cats and dogs. However, milky sap may irritate skin—avoid breaking stems and wear gloves when handling.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

• Grows upward steadily—can reach over 1 m indoors given time and proper light.
• Easy to propagate via stem cuttings—allow cut ends to callus before potting in dry, sandy soil.
• Spring–summer active growth; slow in cooler months.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

During spring and summer, feed monthly with diluted cactus fertilizer. In winter, water sparingly and keep above 10 °C. Move to a brighter spot in darker months.

🐛 Common Issues

• Overwatering → watch for yellowing stems and mushy base.
• Pest alert: mealybugs can appear—treat promptly with insecticidal soap or isopropyl alcohol swabs.
