Bright indirect light with some gentle direct sun is ideal and helps maintain compact growth and strong variegation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pale areas of the leaves contain less chlorophyll and can scorch more easily than the plain green form, so introduce stronger direct sunlight gradually and protect from intense midday summer sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the compost to dry thoroughly between waterings, then water well and let all excess water drain away. The rounded succulent leaves store water, making this plant much more tolerant of being kept a little dry than of sitting in damp compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater considerably less during autumn and winter when growth slows.
