Care Tips

Straightforward beauty

Nothing is easier to care for than a Queen®.

Place in a light position, and it will reward you with weeks of cheerful colour. In direct sunlight, the leaves turn reddish and the colour of the blooms intensifies. A darker position causes the flowers to fade, slightly shortening their lifetime.

Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out before watering again. Should you forget to water, the plant draws on reserves in the succulent leaves. No fertiliser is necessary.
