This hardy species is relatively low-maintenance, preferring well-draining soil and bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, care should be taken not to expose it to scorching conditions. Watering should be done sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between each session to prevent root rot.

Its soft, furry leaves and delicate white flowers make it an attractive addition to any garden or indoor space. It is also popular among succulent collectors due to its unique appearance.
