Water:
Lemon-Lime thrives in coastal cliff-like conditions with sporadic moisture and high drought tolerance. It needs minimal watering, about once every three weeks, and prefers bright light outdoors. The natural humidity outdoors enhances its growth, making it less suited for indoor environments.
Fertilize:
Most succulent plants, like lemon-Lime, thrive in poor environments and generally do not require fertilization. A slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early summer, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent nutrient damage.
Pruning:
To maintain the shape of lemon-Lime, prune redundant or overly 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 it heals. Soil should be slightly wet for planting.
Propagation:
Propagating lemon-Lime can be done via seeds, though leaf cuttings are preferred. In spring or fall, cut a healthy leaf, place it on slightly humid soil, and maintain a temperature of 25℃ (77℉) with bright, scattered light. A bud will emerge in one to two weeks.
