Lighting

Multi肉 Qian Dai enjoys plenty of sunlight but avoids direct exposure. When caring for it indoors, it should be placed in a sunny area, such as a windowsill or balcony. During the high-temperature periods of summer, it should be shaded appropriately to prevent leaf sunburn.

After watering, keep the soil slightly moist but do not let it accumulate water. During the vigorous growth period, the frequency of watering can be increased appropriately.

Soil

Multi肉 Qian Dai has high requirements for soil. It should choose soil that is well-ventilated and has strong drainage. You can use a growing soil made of a mixture of peat soil, perlite, and vermiculite. The soil pH should be between 6.0-7.0.
