A true survivor from arid regions, this succulent has evolved remarkable water-storing abilities in its thick, fleshy leaves or stems. Perfect for forgetful waterers or frequent travelers, it actually thrives on neglect. Native to drought-prone habitats, it's adapted to intense sun and little water, making it incredibly low-maintenance. Place it in your sunniest spot and water sparingly, overwatering is the only real way to harm this resilient beauty.
Best spot: Set 4-6 feet back from windows, or at east window
Alternative: Well-illuminated office or bath area
STEP 2: Light Duration
Prefers 4-6 hours moderate illumination per day
Works well with grow lights (12-14 hours daily)
