Aichryson are several species of succulent, subtropical plants, mostly native to the Canary Islands. These species thrive in warmer climates and are not frost tolerant. Some plants have stems covered with tiny reddish or green hairs. Aichryson are most often cultivated as houseplants, but can also be used in tropical succulent gardens.
Water:
Aichryson thrives in rocky, arid habitats, requiring infrequent irrigation, ideally every two weeks, due to its drought tolerance. As a popular indoor plant, it benefits from consistent soil moisture during the active growth season to promote healthy foliage.
Propagation:
Propagation of aichryson can be achieved through leaf cuttings or seeds. Success relies on bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, with temperatures maintained above frost. Allow cuttings to callus to prevent rot. Avoid overwatering for easier growth. Follow specific steps for cutting propagation.
