      âś… Do:

      Place in bright sunny spots (outdoors is best in Addis).

      Grow in containers or raised beds for best drainage.

      Propagate by cuttings or offsets for easy expansion.

      Combine with other succulents for a drought-tolerant display.

      ❌ Don’t:

      Don’t overwater — it’s drought-tolerant.

      Don’t plant in heavy clay soils — roots will rot.

      Don’t expose to frost or prolonged cold below 5°C.

      Don’t leave in deep shade — leaves stretch and lose color.
