Propeller Plant Care
LIGHT: Give propeller plant at least 3 hours of sunlight a day. 4-6 hours of indirect sunlight is ideal. Indoors, this means a south facing window.
WATER: During the spring and early summer months, when the plant is actively growing, water this succulent regularly. Be careful not to overwater, since the plant is prone to decay if it receives too much water.
A good way to water is the “soak and drain” method. To do this, bring the plant to the sink and give it a good soak, allowing the water to drain out of the drain hole in the bottom of the pot.
During the winter months, reduce the amount of water that you give the plant considerably, since the soil tends to retain moisture longer. Water only enough to keep it from shriveling.
FERTILIZE: Fertilize propeller plant with a cactus fertilizer or all purpose liquid fertilizer that is diluted to half strength. The best time to fertilize is during the active growing stage in late spring.
Fertilize once a month in the summer months.
TEMPERATURE: Propeller plant is happiest growing in warm temperatures above 64°F. During the winter months, it can survive temperatures down to 20°F.
