Aussie Care Tips
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect sun. Morning sun is best—protect from harsh afternoon rays in hot zones.
💧 Water: Water when dry. Weekly in summer, every 3–4 weeks in winter. Avoid soggy soil.
🌱 Soil: Free-draining cactus mix. Add perlite or coarse sand in humid areas.
🌡️ Climate: Loves warmth (15–30°C). Not frost-hardy—bring indoors in VIC, TAS, or cool nights.
🌸 Growth: Fast-growing. Propagate from stem cuttings—let them callous before planting.
