- Spacing: For a 4-inch round pot, ensure there is enough room for the plant to grow without overcrowding. This allows the rosette to develop fully and maintain its shape.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Avoid overwatering and ensure the soil dries out between waterings.
