Water: Aeonium 'Ballerina' , originating from arid regions, retains moisture through its succulent leaves. It requires minimal watering, about once every three weeks, and thrives in well-draining soil and ample sunlight. Ideally grown outdoors, it adapts well to its drought-tolerant environment.

Fertilize: Succulent plants like aeonium 'Ballerina' thrive in nutrient-poor environments and typically do not require fertilization. A light application of slow-release fertilizer can be beneficial in early summer, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent damage from excess nutrients.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of aeonium 'Ballerina' , prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, apply sulfur powder to the wound, and plant after healing. Ensure the soil is slightly wet to promote growth.

Propagation: Succulents can be propagated most effectively by leaf cuttings in spring or fall. Cut a healthy leaf, place it on slightly humid soil, and ensure a temperature of 25℃ (77℉) with bright, scattered light. Buds typically emerge within one to two weeks.
