Water: Tree aeonium adapts well to arid climates with high drought tolerance, requiring minimal watering—approximately every three weeks. It prefers full sun exposure and efficiently conserves water by closing its stomata during peak heat, making it ideal for dry conditions.

Fertilize: Fertilize tree aeonium monthly with a succulent blend at quarter strength during the growing season, reducing in winter. Allow soil to dry out between watering and fertilizing to prevent root rot. Adjust feeding based on growth cues to maintain tree aeonium's health and tree-like stature.

Pruning: For optimal shape, prune large succulent plants like tree aeonium in spring and fall, removing redundant or dense branches. Propagate by cutting 5-6 leaf stems, applying sulfur powder to the wound, and planting once healed. Ensure soil is slightly wet for best results.

Propagation: Tree aeonium, native to the Canary Islands, is a succulent valued for its ornamental appeal and easy propagation. Use healthy cuttings, allowing them to callous before planting in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist and place in indirect sunlight for optimal rooting.

Repotting: Repot tree aeonium every 2 years in spring into a wide, shallow container to support its growth. After repotting, provide bright indirect light and limit watering to prevent root rot, allowing tree aeonium to acclimate to its new environment.
