🌿Keep it together! If this patterned plant has grown too long and leggy, distorting its compact shape, it is reaching for the sunlight. Try moving to a brighter location.
🌿How much is too much? This semi-succulent is sensitive to overwatering. Too wet and it will rot, too dry and it will die. When the soil has nearly dried out, give it a little drink.
🌿Light them up! These plants thrive under both florescent and natural light, making them ideal in darker shaded spaces such as offices.
