Water: Cotyledon cuneata requires careful watering based on environmental conditions. Water less during dormancy, typically every 1-2 weeks. In summer, water in the evening. Monitor plant symptoms and soil moisture to determine needs. Pot type affects watering frequency; porous pots require more frequent watering.

Fertilize: Most cotyledon cuneata thrive in poor environments and don't require fertilization. A little slow-release fertilizer is beneficial in early summer, but avoid during dormancy to prevent nutrient damage. Minimal fertilization is acceptable, but not essential for their growth cycle.

Pruning: Cotyledon cuneata is a resilient succulent with thick, fleshy leaves. Prune in early spring to promote shape and healthy growth by removing dead leaves and trimming leggy stems. Clean scissors minimize stress, enhance air circulation, and reduce disease risk. Regular inspections after blooming encourage thriving health.

Propagation: Propagation of cotyledon cuneata can be done using seeds, though germination is challenging. Leaf cuttings are more common in spring and autumn. Select a healthy leaf, lay it on humid soil, and ensure a temperature of 25℃ with bright scattered light for successful budding in one to two weeks.
