Light: This plant needs plenty of sunlight, so it is best to have a well-lit and well-ventilated balcony to raise Firecracker indoors. The closed balcony method is not very easy to raise, and the closed environment is also easy to breed mealybugs. 

Water: After summer dormancy, the Firecracker also needs shade and water control, watering frequency is adjusted to about once every 20 days and is watered at night when the temperature is relatively low. A drop along the edge of the pot is enough.  

Soil: It is best to keep the Firecracker indoors with a slightly higher configuration of granular soil because indoor ventilation is not as easy as outdoor. After watering, it is not easy to dry quickly, so the soil with better water retention is more likely to appear as a waterlogged rotten phenomenon. You can follow the proportion of 60% of granular soil and 40% of peat soil, not easy to accumulate water and rotten roots can also control the shape.

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.

Temperature: The optimal growing temperature is between 64-82°F (18-28°C). It’s a winter type succulent that can grow at a minimum of 28°F (-2°C) in winter, and it is best to keep the temperature at about 41°F (5°C) at this time of the year if the mage is to spend the winter peacefully. When the temperature is low, the succulent mage will enter a dormant period, so you don't need to water the plant too much and can stop fertilizing the plant at this stage. 

Humidity: Firecracker grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. It does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
