7. Watering Needs
Water thoroughly, then allow the top 2–3 cm (1 in) of soil to dry before watering again
Drought tolerant; overwatering can lead to root rot
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining potting mix (peat-based with perlite or coarse sand)

Air layering can also be used for larger specimens
