Sinocrassula yunnanensis (Black Sea Urchin Plant)

 A cute, medium-light tolerant succulent that will thrive indoors. Perfect if you want a little friend by your desk or in a windowsill. Low maintenance - a great gift for the plant person in your life who you might not trust with other living creatures... 

Light

Thrives in bright gentle light indoors or full sun with light afternoon protection outdoors. Avoid low-light spots to maintain its rich dark tones.

Water

Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water deeply, then let excess drain away. In winter, reduce watering frequency significantly.

Temperature

Prefers 60–80 °F. Protect from frost and cold drafts.

Humidity

Average household humidity is perfect — this plant prefers drier air.

Potting Mix

Use a gritty, fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add extra perlite or pumice for best results.

Fertilizer

Feed lightly during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted cactus fertilizer once a month. No feeding needed in fall and winter.

Pet Safety

Pet safety not confirmed — use caution.

Origin

Yunnan Province, China
