• Seasonal Blooms: During the growing season, this succulent may produce tall flower stalks adorned with clusters of tubular red or orange flowers, adding an extra layer of beauty to its already stunning foliage.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct morning sun. Avoid harsh afternoon rays to prevent leaf burn.
• Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring good drainage, and avoid letting the plant sit in water.
• Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from frost and extreme heat.
