Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light, but can withstand most levels of light from low light to partial sun. Remember, the more light it gets, the less frequently it will need water!
Water
Let half of the soil dry out in between watering; when it's in bloom, though, try ad keep it moist but not soggy as this will allow the blooms to last for longer. If it receives direct sunlight, make sure it gets enough water as it won't like too much drought.
Humidity
Average humidity is fine, but your plant will benefit from an occasional misting or humidity tray.
Soil
Needs a well-draining pot and potting mix; look for specific 'cacti and succulent' soils with plenty of sand and other well-draining materials. Repot if necessary in spring, into the next size pot up, and about every three to four years as needed.
Food
Use a high potassium feed every four waters in the flowering season, and an ordinary houseplant fertiliser every six waters otherwise.
Temperature
Temperature should ideally be between 16-26°C- make sure it doesn't drop below 10°C in winter.
Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!
Sprouts Top Tips
To ensure it flowers, keep your plant drier in late summer/early autumn, and make sure it gets 12-14 hours of darkness a day.

Had a desire box was ok but one plant not potted.. others very small.. rescue box from else’s where bigger plants and stronger looking
Had to grab this one as the pastel green was so pretty. There is a water resivour at the bottom to stop plants sitting in water so its perfect for orchids but at the moment I'm using it for another plant.
Wanted one of these for ages so I had to jump at the size and price of this plant. Stunning large leaves and has already grown loads
Lovely little plant beautifully packaged. Arrived in perfect condition at a great price. Thank you so much :)
