CARE NOTES
Keeping considerations
Provide a semi-arid, dry terrestrial setup using a well-draining organic substrate. Keep the surface dry, maintain a clean shallow water dish, and avoid overly damp or stuffy conditions. A stunning, harder-to-find Chilean relative that pairs a striking golden-fluffy appearance with the robust hardiness of its genus.
