✅ Do:
Place in full sun outdoors or a very bright indoor spot.
Use as a landscape focal point or in large decorative pots.
Wear gloves when pruning — leaf tips are sharp and can puncture skin.
Propagate by stem cuttings or offsets (pups).
❌ Don’t:
Don’t overwater — roots will rot quickly.
Don’t plant near walkways — leaves are sharp and can injure passersby.
Don’t expose to prolonged frost — not cold-hardy.
