Care level
Easy
Let the soil dry out almost fully before watering. It tolerates drought remarkably well and rots easily if kept wet.
Upright, medium-sized — works well on the floor or a plant stand.
Listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs — still best to discourage chewing.
One of the more forgiving indoor plants — tolerates irregular care well.
