Plant Needs
Sunlight
Prefers full sun to partial sun; tolerates bright indirect light indoors, with reduced trichome density in low light
Watering
Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot
Temperature
Thrives in warm, dry conditions; protect from frost below 5°C to prevent leaf damage
Characteristics
- Leaf: Fleshy triangular-ovate leaves covered in dense white trichomes (spiderweb-like hairs)
- Flower: Star-shaped pink blooms borne on short, slender stalks, opening in bright sunlight
- Stem: Short, trailing stems that form tight, spreading rosette clusters
Care Guide
Watering
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is fully dry; reduce during extreme heat to avoid scorching
Fertilization
Diluted succulent fertilizer once every 4 weeks. Use low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus fertilizer to support flowering and healthy rosette growth
Eggshell powder topdress:Crush clean, dried eggshells into fine powder; sprinkle lightly on the soil surface to boost soil structure and calcium content, avoiding direct contact with leavesPruning
- Remove dead or withered leaves from the base of rosettes to maintain airflow and appearance
- Trim overgrown trailing stems to encourage compact, dense rosette growth
- Snip spent flower stalks after blooming to redirect energy to new leaf growth
