Water:
Watering aeonium lindleyi requires attention to weather and plant state rather than a fixed schedule. In hot or dormant periods, reduce watering to every 1-2 weeks. Water in the evening during summer, observe soil moisture, and adjust frequency based on pot type to prevent black rot.
Fertilize:
Most succulent plants, like aeonium lindleyi, thrive in poor environments and typically do not require fertilization. A small amount of slow-release fertilizer may be added in early summer, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent nutrient damage.
Pruning:
Aeonium lindleyi, with its rosette form and succulent leaves, benefits from early to late winter pruning to encourage growth and maintain shape. Remove damaged stems and faded flowers. Timely pruning enhances vigor and appearance; use sanitized tools to prevent disease.
Propagation:
Propagation of aeonium lindleyi can be achieved using leaves, typically in spring and fall. Cut a healthy leaf and place it on slightly humid soil. Maintain a temperature of 25℃ (77℉) and provide bright, scattered light. A bud should appear within one to two weeks.
