## Simple Care Instructions## ☀️ Light
Thrives in absolute full sun. Place it in your brightest south- or west-facing window, or keep it on a sun-drenched patio. Requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to bloom.
## 💧 Water
Treat it like a cactus. Soak the soil thoroughly, then allow it to dry out completely before watering again. Drastically reduce watering during the winter dormancy period.
## 🌱 Soil & Potting
Requires exceptionally sharp drainage. Always use a gritty cactus/succulent soil mix and a container with ample drainage holes to prevent root rot.
## 🌡️ Temperature
Loves hot weather and thrives in temperatures above 21°C (70°F). Absolutely not frost-tolerant; move indoors immediately if temperatures drop near 10°C (50°F).
