Cotyledon campanulata

Cotyledon campanulata is a succulent with bell-shaped, bright orange to red flowers that bloom mainly in winter. Plump, grey-green leaves form a rosette base, from which emerges a stout flowering stalk. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in rocky and sandy soils, harnessing sparse resources to sustain its vivid blossoms. Cotyledon campanulata's distinct flowers lure pollinators, ensuring survival in its native arid landscapes.

Water: Cotyledon campanulata requires careful watering based on environmental conditions. In dormancy, reduce watering to once every 1-2 weeks. Water in the evening during summer, observe leaf symptoms and soil moisture to assess needs, and adjust frequency based on pot type for optimal care.

Fertilize: Most succulent plants thrive in poor environments and generally do not require fertilization. If desired, a little slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early summer, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent nutrient damage to cotyledon campanulata.

Pruning: Cotyledon campanulata features thick, fleshy leaves and bell-shaped flowers. Prune in early spring to remove dead stems and leggy growth for improved health and flowering. Sterilize tools to prevent disease, ensuring better air circulation and sunlight penetration for optimal growth. Consult reputable sources for best practices.

Propagation: Succulent plants can be propagated using seeds, but cutting propagation with leaves is more common in spring and autumn. Cut a healthy leaf, place it on slightly humid soil at 25℃ (77°F) with bright, scattered light. A bud will emerge in one to two weeks.
