Care tips
Watering
Water very rarely, only when the old leaf pair has dried up and a new pair has split through. Do not water in winter.
Light
Give it the sunniest window. In too little light the stones stretch and lose their pattern.
Feeding and repotting
Feed rarely or not at all. Repot every few years into a small pot with very gritty soil.
Watch out for
Watering at the wrong time makes the leaves split or rot. The old leaves shrivel as the new pair grows, which is normal.
