Water: Originating from coastal California, bright green dudleya thrives in arid environments with minimal water. It requires weekly watering and stores moisture in its fleshy leaves. This drought-tolerant succulent uses dew and fog as moisture sources, adapting to infrequent rainfall in xeric landscapes.

Fertilize: Bright green dudleya thrives with a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer applied sparingly during spring to early summer. Fertilize biannually at half strength to avoid root burn. Withhold fertilizer in dormant periods (late summer to winter) to support natural cycles, as over-fertilization can harm this succulent.

Pruning: Bright green dudleya is a succulent that prefers well-drained soil. Prune in early to late spring to promote healthy growth and shape. Use sterilized tools to avoid disease, and limit pruning to preserve water-storing leaves while enhancing air circulation and reducing rot risk.

Propagation: To propagate bright green dudleya, select healthy, non-flowering cuttings and allow them to callous for several days. Plant in well-draining soil, provide indirect sunlight, and water minimally to prevent rot, ensuring a stable environment for root establishment. Patience and careful handling are key for successful propagation.
