I read that this plant needs loads of humidity (70-90F), I saw it at Home Depot and Lowe’s and was tempted but have no idea how to maintain it lol

They do like a lot of humidity, but honestly, the easiest plant I've ever had. Low light, does great in jars or open terramiums and I water her once a week but every night when my kids are getting their showers she hangs out in ther bathroom. Easiest plant I've ever tried to propagate too. Just take even the smallest clippings, and I put them down in damp sphagnum moss, 2-3 days they have roots. I could name 100 plants harder to grow @veepaisal I was so suprised. Now I have like 13, from one lol

@pretty_paws_29 hmm would they do good in plain pots instead of terrariums or jars??

@veepaisal Yes ma'am, this one in the pic sits in a regular terra cotta pot. I just either put her in the bathroom when someone is in the shower or when I'm watering all the tropicals and she gets all the humidity she needs and I mist her when I mist all the other non succulent plants everyday. If your kitchen doesn't have a lot of bright light they do good their either by the stove/sink or above the fridge/freezer.
