🌿 General care:

• Add perlite to encourage aeration and limit persistent moisture
→ Light fertilization in spring and summer only.

🪴 Repotting:

• Repot preferably in spring when it becomes truly necessary
• The Beaucarnea likes to be slightly root-bound in its pot

• Space out waterings considerably in winter
Absolutely avoid: constant moisture around the roots and the caudex.
