🌡️USDA ZONE 8a - 10a. Can tolerate light frosts. The minimum recommended temperature is -7ºC. In winter, the substrate should remain dry.
☀️For healthy, stress-free growth, it needs partial shade or a PAR radiation intensity between 20 to 25 moles of photons daily.

💧Watering begins in spring as soon as the plant undergoes its annual molt and the old leaves are reabsorbed. When high summer temperatures arrive, between July and August, they enter estivation, and watering should be stopped. Watering restarts in September and continues until the end of the flowering period. In November, watering is completely stopped to facilitate winter dormancy. Always let the substrate dry out between waterings.
