To ensure the health of your Lizard Tail, it's crucial to use a potting soil that won't hold too much moisture. A soil that drains well and contains perlite or vermiculite for drainage and organic matter for nutrition is ideal.

Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
