Care
This is a semi-succulent plant, and should be cared for similarly to a succulent plant except with somewhat less light and more water. Well draining soil is a must for this plant. Average household humidity is adequate but it will tolerate low levels of humidity as well. We recommend fertilizing once or twice during the spring and summer with a diluted general houseplant fertilizer.
Light
Aptenia grow best in bright light. Avoid direct sunlight which may scorch the leaves. Too little sunlight may cause weak and unhealthy growth.

Water
To avoid damaging the roots, it should only be watered when the top few inches of soil are completely dry. During the winter months, it can be watered more sparingly. When overwatered, the leaves and stems may begin to rot and collapse. Wilting or dropping leaves may be a sign of underwatering.
