wonderful conversation starter and a unique focal point. It's excellent for adding textural
contrast in arrangements with other succulents. The plant's low-maintenance nature makes

Maintenance
Caring for your princess Pine Plant is straightforward. This plant thrives in bright, indirect
sunlight. While it can handle some direct sun, too much can scorch its delicate leaves. A
location with bright, filtered light is best. For watering, this plant is drought-tolerant, so let
the soil dry out completely between waterings. Use a well-draining succulent soil mix to
ensure proper drainage.

appreciated. It makes a beautiful indoor plant on a sunny windowsill or a bright office desk.
Its trailing habit also makes it a great choice for hanging baskets.
