Care Tips

Light: Spring and autumn is the peak of the growth of the Sunburst need to move it to a more light place, if the light exposure is not enough will lead to loose plant, serious will appear to grow, such as leaf color dull and even green, the yellow spots on the leaf surface will also be reduced. Its ornamental value will be greatly reduced. Sunlight exposure is abundant (leaves are fat and round). When the plant is dormant during the summer heat, pay attention to shade and avoid sunburn. Full sunlight can be maintained during the growing season in spring, autumn and winter.

Water: During the growing season, it is important to water the plant more frequently, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. In summer and winter, less water or no water is needed.

Soil: Like other succulents, it prefers loose, fertile and well-drained soil. Can be prepared with leaf mold, garden soil and coarse sand. 

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.

Temperature: Winter in a sunny place indoors, it is best to keep it above 41°F (5 ℃) at night and above 59°F (15 ℃) during the day, so that it has a certain temperature difference between day and night, so that the plant can continue to grow, if you can not maintain that high temperature, control watering, so that the plant dormant, but also tolerate short-term low temperature of 32°F (0 ℃), but if the long-term temperature is too low, it will produce frost damage, so that the leaves fall off. 

Humidity: Sunburst grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Prefers a drier environment. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

Care Instructions

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
