Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light, but will tolerate some shade.
Water
Keep the soil moist, but ensure good drainage and don't allow to sit in water. Water when the top inch of soil is dry, and reduce watering in winter.
Humidity
Average household humidity is fine for this plant, but make sure it's not too close to a radiator as this will dry it out too much!
Soil
Plant in fast draining, but moisture retentive soil. A mix with added bark or grit would be ideal. Repot every three years or once the plant and roots are crowding the pot.
Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.
Temperature
Ideal temperature range of 12-26°C; don't let it drop below this in winter.
Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.
Sprouts Top Tips
As the plant establishes, it may start to look leggy. To combat this you can prune the topmost leaves which will make the plant bushier- and provide clippings which may be propagated.

Ordered as gifts, and very pleased: was rather amused by the size of the box for the size of the cacti, but very chuffed to see how well packaged they were for arrival by ordinary Royal Mail parcel service.
10 out of 10, would absolutely order from Sprouts again.
Purchased the white plastic pots needed them for a couple of ferns that live in the bathroom
Not used yet as the plot was taller than expected so I need a taller plant than the one I purchased the pot for
Bought this for a pink anthurium plant that needed repotting, The plant looks good in it but the only thing I did not realise was that the pot is quite a bit taller than I expected, Perhaps the height of it was on the site but I did not notice which another time if in doubt I will ask
This stuff has transformed the grottiest strip of earth ever into a thing of beauty. A couple of tree stumps were present already and I placed a couple of rocks randomly to complete the look. I`m crazy about my moss garden and it intrigues passers by. Did a few square metres last Summer and added to it this month.......both lots were from Sprouts. It arrives well boxed and cut into "squares". You just slap it down and water it in basically. I`m thrilled with it. Thanks Sprouts!
