Light
Bright light; sun brings out the leaf colour.
Watering
Water only when the soil is dry, ideally with rainwater, and don't leave water in the saucer. In winter, a light watering every few weeks — otherwise the roots rot.
Air
Warm, not below 10 °C; cooler and drier in winter.

This is normal
- Pups appear around a mature rosette — you can separate and root them.
- The lower leaves dry up over time — remove them so they don't start rot.
