Water:
Watering acrodon bellidiflorus should vary based on weather, plant state, soil moisture, and pot type. Reduce watering frequency during dormancy, especially in hot or cold weather. Aim to water in the evening during summer. Observe plant symptoms and soil conditions to determine when watering is needed.
Fertilize:
Most succulent plants thrive in poor environments and typically don't require fertilization. A small amount of slow-release fertilizer in early summer is acceptable, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent nutrient damage.
Pruning:
Acrodon bellidiflorus has rosette-shaped succulent leaves and daisy-like flowers. Prune in early spring to shape and remove dead growth, enhancing blooms and air circulation. Trim flower stalks post-bloom to prevent excessive seeding. Use sharp, sterilized tools to avoid plant stress and disease.
Propagation:
Succulent plants can be propagated using leaves rather than seeds, which are hard to germinate. In spring or autumn, cut a healthy leaf and place it on slightly humid soil. Maintain a temperature of 25℃ (77℉) and bright scattered light; a bud will appear in one to two weeks.
