When you water more, there is a greater risk of getting fungus", points out Rodrigo.In times of heavy rain, it is important not to leave them unprotected, so they don't get soaked.The species has pointed leaves with a red outline (Photo: Tangopaso / Wikimedia Commons / CreativeCommons)This species likes a lot of light and can be exposed to direct sunlight.It should receive at least two hours of sunlight a day, so indoors it should be next to a window.To create seedlings of the plant, simply remove the leaves and place them on damp sand, where they will stay for 30 to 60 days, until it takes root and starts to develop the new bud.Then, when it acquires 1 cm in diameter, it is enough to plant them in a pot with a specific substrate for the genus.Younger plants need more water than adults.If it's a seedling, it should be watered once or twice a week, depending on the weather.
