Light: Requires maximum full sun exposure or high-intensity LED grow lights to maintain its ultra-compact dwarf structure and prevent leggy growth.
Soil: Must be planted in an extremely sharp-draining mineral mix (heavy on pumice, perlite, and gritty sand) with minimal organic matter to prevent root rot.
Watering: Water thoroughly only when the potting medium is 100% bone dry during spring and summer. Cut watering down drastically to near-zero in the winter when the plant enters dormancy.
Temperature: Strictly cold-sensitive; keep above 15°C (60°F) year-round. It will rapidly drop its leaves and risk rotting if exposed to prolonged damp chill.
