Adapted to flourish in Australian climates, Cotyledon 'Forever Cute' is a testament to the beauty and diversity of succulents. It requires a sunny position indoors to maintain its dense form and vivid coloration; otherwise, it risks losing these desirable traits. Blooms, although only produced under sufficient light, add an extra layer of allure to this already striking plant.

For watering, this succulent is undemanding, with the ability to endure long dry spells while retaining its compact shape. During its active growth phase in the warmer months, a minimalist approach to feeding is recommended. A monthly application of fertilizer at just 25% of the standard dosage promotes a more compact form and enhances leaf coloration. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers to prevent excessive growth and diminished leaf vibrancy.
