Difficulty: Easy.

Light: D oes best in full sun for at least eight hours a day

Care: E xtremely drought tolerant, so when in doubt, water it less than you think it needs Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced plant food, and repot one size up when roots crowd the pot.

Size: Varies widely by type, from a few inches to several feet over many years.

Toxicity: Non-toxic — a safe pick for homes with pets and children.
