Pruning

Sunlight
This succulent needs a lot of bright light but does not like direct sunlight. It grows well in partial or filtered light, so you can place it on the eastern or western windowsill.
Soil
The most essential condition for ideal soil is excellent drainage properties. Thanks to this, excess moisture will drain, and air will flow to the roots. You can use ready-made mixtures or prepare the soil by taking peat, perlite, and sand.
Propagation
Succulents are easy to propagate, and Aurora is no exception. You can propagate this plant by cuttings by letting the edges dry out and placing them in moist soil. The second method is the propagation of succulent leaves. Choose a healthy leaf and place it on dry soil. When the edge of the leaf dries, start periodically spraying the plant. After a few weeks, roots will appear.
