1. Light:

Ideal: Bright, indirect light. While they can tolerate low light, the plant's growth will slow down, and its silvery variegation may be less pronounced. 

Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. 

Winter: Consider using grow lights to help maintain growth during low-light periods. 

2. Watering:

Key: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. 

Timing: Water thoroughly when the soil is almost dry. Reduce watering frequency in fall and winter. 

Avoid: Overwatering, which can lead to root rot. 

3. Soil:

Best: Well-draining potting mix, such as a mixture designed for succulents or cacti. 

4. Temperature and Humidity:

Temperature:

Tolerant of a wide range, but prefers between 60°F and 80°F (15°C – 27°C).

Humidity:

Not fussy about humidity, making them suitable for typical indoor environments. 

5. Fertilizing:

Light Feeder: Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring/summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Dormant Season: Fertilization is not necessary in fall and winter. 

6. Propagation:

Methods: Can be propagated by division or from leaf cuttings. 

7. Repotting:

Frequency: Repot young plants annually, and adult plants every few years.

Pot size: Choose a new pot slightly larger than the old one
