Water: Tree aeonium 'Jack Catlin' thrives in semi-arid conditions with infrequent rainfall. It prefers well-draining soil and has high drought tolerance, requiring watering every three weeks. Ideal for outdoor settings like rock gardens, tree aeonium 'Jack Catlin' efficiently stores water, making it suitable for regions with sporadic rain.

Fertilize: Most succulent plants, including tree aeonium 'Jack Catlin', thrive in poor environments and typically do not require fertilization. If desired, apply a slow-release fertilizer in early summer, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent damage from excess nutrients.

Pruning: Tree aeonium 'Jack Catlin', known for its rosette-forming succulent stems, should be pruned in early spring. Remove dead or leggy growth to promote compactness and vibrancy, and prune spent flower stalks post-bloom. Avoid heavy pruning outside the growing season to minimize stress and enhance overall health.

Propagation: Tree aeonium 'Jack Catlin' propagates best via stem cuttings from healthy plants, with each cutting featuring a rosette. Allow the cut ends to callous before planting in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots establish to avoid rot, leading to steady growth and stable mature plants.
