Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Mother of Thousands thrives in bright, direct sunlight.
  A sunny windowsill facing south or west is ideal for promoting healthy, sturdy growth and good leaf colour.
  In the height of summer, if the leaves start to show signs of scorching (yellow or brown patches), you may need to provide some filtered sunlight.
  It can tolerate some lower light conditions, but growth may become leggy and the leaf colour may fade.
  Rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides receive equal light and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  
• Watering💧
  As a succulent, the Mother of Thousands stores water in its leaves and is drought-tolerant. The most crucial part of watering is to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
  Water sparingly during the cooler winter months when the plant is dormant.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  Mother of Thousands thrives in low humidity environments, similar to its native habitat.
  Ensure good air circulation, especially in humid or confined spaces, to prevent fungal problems.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  Mother of Thousands prefers average room temperatures between 15°C and 24°C.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Feed sparingly with a diluted liquid succulent fertiliser during the spring and summer growing season.
  Stop fertilising during the winter months when growth slows.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Mother of Thousands does not require much pruning.
  Remove any dead, yellowing, or damaged leaves with clean, sharp tools.
