Areoles are only found in cacti. This makes it easy to distinguish between the two families. They also need a specific watering schedule in order to bloom. Most succulent experts recommend watering your plants once every seven to ten days. But, it's important to tailor that schedule to each plant's specific needs. When planted outside, this succulent grows best with filtered or partial sun. It is essential that you place the succulent in a location that is similar to its natural environment.

This is a unique succulent that you can add to your house plants. I have a Calico Kitten in a pot and wanted to add another one. Apart from their unique growth methods, one of the reasons we don’t recommend air plants is that they need a different watering method and schedule. Use a sharp, straight knife to remove the air plants from the main tree. Allow them to dry at ambient temperature before you plant them. It doesn't need to be exposed to too much sun. It doesn’t need any unusual feeding or special soil mixtures to survive.
