• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Gritty and fast-draining is key.

• Temperature: Prefers warm, dry conditions. Keep above 5°C / 41°F and protect from frost.

• Growth Habit: Slow-growing, stays compact. With proper care and enough sun, it may reward you with a large magenta-pink bloom!
