Care Guide

Care Guide:

Light: Bright, indirect light to several hours of gentle direct sun. Too little light causes stretching.

Ideal Room: Sunny kitchens, living rooms, conservatories, or any bright shelf or hanging display

Feeding: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted cactus/succulent fertiliser.

Humidity: Prefers low humidity; thrives in dry indoor air.

Ideal Temperature: 18–27°C; protect from frost and cold drafts.

Watering: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly in winter. Avoid splashing water on leaves to prevent rot.

Pet/Child Safe: Generally considered non-toxic (genus level), but ingestion may cause mild stomach upset.

Soil Type: Very fast-draining succulent or cactus mix with extra pumice or perlite

Propagation: Extremely easy—propagate from fallen leaves or stem segments; leaves root readily in dry soil

Eventual Height and Spread: Trails 30–90 cm depending on age; spreads into dense, pendant clusters

Growth Rate: Moderate; speeds up in warm, bright, dry conditions

Pests and Treatment: Susceptible to mealybugs and fungus gnats in overwatered soil; treat with neem oil or succulent-safe insecticides

Repotting: Every 1–2 years; handle gently—leaves detach easily

Pruning: Light trimming to manage length; use cuttings for propagation

Air Purification: Mild; valued mainly for its unique, cascading form

Folklore: Often seen as a symbol of contentment and relaxation due to its soft, trailing, “lazy” form and carefree nature
