info		 This plant likes more water than other succulents. It comes from an area with summer rainfall and is actively growing during that time, when it appreciates frequent water and grows quickly, as long as the temperatures are warm and the soil is well drained. During winter dormancy it should be watered when the soil is dry, especially when temperatures drop.

Remember that if kept in a small pot your plant will want more frequent watering.

Growing Notes

Pinch off the growing tips to induce branching and a bushier form. This plant can become sprawling over time. It will look chopped up for a while after a hard pruning, but then flush back to its original fullness. Best pruned in spring.
This succulent grows areal roots alongs its stems, and tends to lean over and root into the ground making a colony over time. This makes it very easy to grow from cuttings.
