☀️ Easy Growing Guide

• Sunlight: Needs full sun (6+ hours daily) for vigorous growth and fruit production.

• Soil: Prefers sandy or rocky soil with excellent drainage. Use cactus or succulent mix for containers.

• Watering: Water only when soil is fully dry. Overwatering is the most common issue—less is more!

• Climate: Ideal for arid and semi-arid regions. Also suitable for coastal or temperate zones with proper drainage.

• Frost: Mature plants tolerate light frost; grow in pots in colder regions and move indoors when needed.

• Propagation: Snap off pads and plant directly in soil—simple and fast-growing.

🌿 Perfect For:

• Drought-tolerant landscapes and edible gardens

• Australian native-inspired or desert-themed designs

• Balcony gardens, large pots, and low-maintenance garden beds

• Gardeners of all skill levels—from beginners to experts
