Care level
Easy
Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry. It wilts clearly when thirsty — use this as your watering cue rather than a schedule.
Bushy and compact — fills out well on a windowsill or shelf.
Listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs — still best to discourage chewing.
Reliable in most indoor environments with regular watering.
