🌱 Growth Guide These key details will help you understand how your plant will grow and what conditions bring out its best.

☀️ Exposure: Bright, indirect sunlight to partial sun (gentle morning light is ideal; intense direct sun can scorch the tender stems)

💧 Watering: Follow the soak-and-dry method, allowing the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, keeping the soil nearly dry to prevent root rot.

📏 Mature Height: 6–12 inches (slow-growing; indoor specimens stay compact and bushy) 📏 Mature Width: 4–8 inches (forms a dense, clustered "mountain range" shape) 📦 Ships: Bare root (carefully wrapped to protect delicate stems during transit)
