  • Light: Likes plenty of direct sunlight; plant thrives best in sunny spots.

  • Water: moderate watering during the growing season; soil should be well-draining; water much less during the dormant period.

  • Humidity: Thrives in dry conditions, typical for succulents.

  • Temperature: Likes warm temperatures, not frost-resistant; ideal room temperature between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.

  • Flowers: Large, trumpet-shaped flowers in a spectacular pink star shape with a light, almost white center.

  • Toxicity: The plant is poisonous if ingested, especially the milky sap; dangerous to humans and animals.

  • Extra: water reservoir in the trunk keeps the plant drought-resistant; unique ornamental value due to flowers and trunk.
