Silver Dollar Plant - Xerosicyos Danguyi

6-12 Inches

Provide your Silver Dollar Plant with bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Place it near a south or west-facing window where it can receive plenty of sunlight, but ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch its leaves. If natural light is limited, supplement with artificial grow lights to maintain healthy growth.

Water your Silver Dollar Plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Aim to water it thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, but reduce watering in the winter months when growth slows down. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Always ensure that excess water can drain freely from the pot to prevent waterlogging.

Plant your Silver Dollar Plant in a well-draining soil mix, such as a combination of cactus or succulent potting mix and perlite. This blend ensures proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
