• Feed once a month during growing season with a diluted succulent fertilizer
• Prune occasionally to maintain shape and encourage branching

✅ Summer Care
• Keep in partial shade during very hot afternoons to avoid leaf scorch
• Water early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation
