Soil
A well-drained succulent mix, with an ideal pH around 6.0 (slightly acidic).
Temperature
Prefers average summer temps (65ºF - 70ºF). In winter, some varieties can withstand temperatures down to freezing.
Container
Repot as needed, preferably during the warm season. To repot a succulent, make sure the soil is dry before repotting, then gently remove the pot. Knock away the old soil from the roots, making sure to remove any rotted or dead roots in the process. Treat any cuts with a fungicide. Place the plant in its new pot and backfill with potting soil, spreading the roots out as you repot. Leave the plant dry for a week or so, then begin to water lightly to reduce the risk of root rot.
