It can tolerate some partial shade, but for optimum growth, place it in a location with intense indirect light. Watering: It is extremely drought tolerant, but will improve with moisture and will grow faster if kept well watered and nourished. Pests: Plants are very resistant to pests and diseases, but the most common is the appearance of fungi.
Generally due to excess watering, the stem rots.
Watch out for snail pests, which can bite and eat the leaves of attenuata. Fertilization: Succulent plants grown in pots require a type of substrate that allows them to eliminate excess water very easily.
Therefore, universal substrates are usually mixed with components such as sand, gravel, perlite or coconut fiber.
All of them provide good oxygenation of the medium and drain excess water. Pruning: Remove dry or damaged leaves from time to time to maintain a clean and healthy appearance.
