Water:
Watering aeonium goochiae requires attention to its condition and weather. In dormancy, typically every 1-2 weeks; in summer, water in the evening. Signs of thirst include leaf wrinkling or drooping. Check soil moisture by weight and observe for cracks. Air-permeable pots need more frequent watering.
Fertilize:
Aeonium goochiae generally thrives without fertilization, adapting to poor environments. A small amount of slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early summer, but it's not necessary. Avoid fertilization during dormancy to prevent nutrient overload, which can harm growth.
Pruning:
Aeonium goochiae is a succulent with a rosette shape and vibrant leaves. Prune in early spring to shape and remove damage, using sterilized tools. This promotes fuller growth and better air circulation. Be mindful of dormancy to minimize disruption, ensuring a healthier plant.
Propagation:
Propagating aeonium goochiae is often done using healthy leaves rather than seeds, as the latter is challenging to germinate. Cut a whole leaf and lay it on humid soil, ensuring suitable conditions of 25℃ (77℉) and bright, scattered light. A bud will emerge in one to two weeks.
