General care

  • Light: Bright position; acclimatise gradually to sun and shelter some species during the hottest hours.
  • Watering: Water when the mix dries according to species; avoid standing water and persistent moisture around stems.
  • Compost: Free-draining mix and a pot with holes, without excess volume for small root systems.
  • Temperature: Protect sensitive species from frost and prolonged rain, with good airflow.
  • Maintenance: Remove dry stems, check for pests and preserve natural wax or hairs. Many are toxic if eaten; keep away from children and pets.
