They like to be fertilized. This is the very type of plant that taught me the importance of plant food years ago lol. They’ll get pretty sad and scraggly without regular feeding. They also like a decent high amount of light

One of my favorite plants. It’s low maintenance. It thrives in full sunlight. It can tolerate partial shade. Water when the soil is almost dry. The stems are thin and fleshy. So, the plant may droop and leaves fold close if the soil completely dries out. It bounces back after watering.

It can go dormant a couple of weeks in colder months. It bounces back rather quickly. 🍀🪴
