Water: Watering hen and chicks 'Lady Aquarius' requires attention to plant state and weather. In hot or dormant periods, reduce watering to every 1-2 weeks. Water in the evening during summer to prevent rot. Check soil moisture by weight and observe signs of fatigue in leaves to determine needs.
Fertilize: Hen and chicks 'Lady Aquarius' typically thrives in nutrient-poor environments without the need for fertilization. If desired, apply a small amount of slow-release fertilizer in early summer, avoiding fertilization during dormancy to prevent potential growth damage from excess nutrients.
Pruning: Hen and chicks 'Lady Aquarius' thrives best with pruning in early spring to enhance health and appearance. Remove dead or leggy leaves to promote new growth and improve airflow. Regular pruning reduces pest risks. Carefully trim offshoots for propagation, ensuring a robust, attractive plant.
Propagation: Succulent propagation can be achieved using seeds, though they are hard to germinate. More commonly, leaves are used in spring and fall. Cut a healthy leaf and lay it on slightly humid soil. Ensure a temperature of 25℃ (77℉) and bright, scattered light for optimal growth.
