Origin: Native to the Mexican state of Nayarit, I'm known for my slender, flexible leaves and spherical rosette shape.
Light: Provide full sun. I thrive in bright, direct sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. Partial shade is tolerated, but it may slow my growth.
Watering: Allow my soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water me sparingly, ensuring the soil is dry before the next watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Soil: Plant me in well-draining, gritty soil. A cactus or succulent mix with added sand or perlite works well to provide excellent drainage.
Propagation: I can be propagated from offsets or seeds. Offsets can be removed and planted in well-draining soil. If propagating from seeds, plant them in a well-draining mix and keep the soil lightly moist until they germinate.
Pests/Diseases: I'm relatively pest and disease-resistant, but watch out for pests like mealybugs and scale. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
