Water:
Aeonium 'Bronze Medal' is adapted to arid conditions, showcasing drought tolerance and requiring minimal watering—approximately once every three weeks. It thrives in well-drained soil, making it ideal for outdoor settings like rockeries or Mediterranean gardens, particularly in water-scarce regions.
Fertilize:
For aeonium 'Bronze Medal' , apply a balanced succulents and cacti fertilizer every 2-3 months during the active growing season (spring to fall), withholding in winter. Precise dosage prevents over-fertilization and root burn, promoting robust growth and optimal coloration.
Pruning:
Prune aeonium 'Bronze Medal' in spring and fall to maintain shape, cutting redundant or dense branches. Use knives or scissors, and apply sulfur powder to wounds. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, let the wound heal, then plant in slightly wet soil.
Propagation:
Succulent propagation can be done using seeds, though it's challenging. A more effective method is leaf cutting in spring or fall. Cut a healthy leaf and lay it on slightly humid soil at 25℃ (77°F) under bright, scattered light. A bud will form in one to two weeks.
