How difficult is it to take care of Sea Peffle

What are the water needs for Sea Peffle
Sea Peffle should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Sea Peffle

How to fertilize Sea Peffle
Repotting the Sea Peffle should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner.

Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
