Water: Aeonium leucoblepharum thrives in arid conditions with low water needs, requiring watering every three weeks. This evergreen plant prefers well-drained soil that reflects its native habitat, balancing hydration and dryness, making it ideal for outdoor growth.

Fertilize: Fertilize aeonium leucoblepharum sparingly with a succulents-specific formula monthly at quarter strength during the growing season (spring to early fall). Withhold in winter to maintain seasonal balance, ensuring robust growth and enhancing its unique foliage while avoiding chemical burn.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of aeonium leucoblepharum, prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall using knives or scissors. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, treat the wound with sulfur powder, and plant after it heals, using slightly wet soil.

Propagation: Succulents can be propagated using leaves, typically in spring or fall. Cut a healthy leaf and lay it on slightly humid soil with the base close to the surface. Maintain a temperature of 25℃ (77℉) and provide bright, scattered light. A bud will emerge in one to two weeks.
