💧 Watering
Water sparingly; only when soil is completely dry.
During dormancy (summer or winter depending on species), do not water.
Overwatering is the most common cause of death — plants may split or rot.

☀️ Sunlight
Prefers bright indirect light to full sun.
In Malta, ideal for sunny windowsills, terraces, or shaded outdoor pots.
Protect from harsh midday sun when young.

🍃 Foliage / 🌸 Flowering
Succulent leaves grow in pairs, often patterned like stones for camouflage.
Produces small daisy-like flowers in late summer or autumn.
Leaves may split naturally as new growth emerges.

🪴 Potting Mix
Use an ultra-fast draining mix: cactus soil + coarse sand + grit.
Ensure pots have excellent drainage.

🌿 Fertilizer
Minimal feeding; if desired, feed once in growing season with very diluted cactus fertilizer.
Avoid fertilizing during dormancy.
