The Dirt

This succulent has thick stems and flat, egg-shaped leaves, it has a creeping growth habit, forming a network of roots as it spreads.

The leaves are green, fleshy, and grow up to 3” inches each.

Part Sun

This plant likes most rooms with windows facing west or east. You could place it in a spot away from a very sunny window – as light intensity goes down quick as you move away from the light source.

Water every three weeks. Let soil dry up before watering. Feel the soil, top layer should be dry, if not dry, wait two days. If the soil still is wet you risk giving the plant too much water, you don’t want it to rot.
