Let’s move on to the care of *Adromischus cooperi*. A mixture of cactus and succulent soil is suitable as a substrate. *Adromischus cooperi* does not tolerate waterlogging, so you should ensure good drainage and allow the substrate to dry out before watering again. Generally, this succulent tolerates too little water rather than too much. Fertilizing can be done once a month, or every four weeks.
This succulent’s light requirement is met in a sunny location. This means a south-facing window with direct sunlight is best. The optimal temperature is between 20C and 30C.
