Care Instructions:

Red Dragon Flower is all about minimalism—think desert chic. Water sparingly; overwatering is a big no-no, as it probably thinks it's still in the arid plains of Africa. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Give it bright, indirect light but avoid direct sun which might be a bit too intense for this quirky succulent. Fertilize lightly during its growing season (spring and summer) with a cactus or succulent fertilizer.
