Water: Party dress, adapted to arid regions, stores water in its succulent leaves, showcasing high drought tolerance. Water weekly, allowing soil to dry between sessions. Thrives in well-draining soil; occasional misting benefits it. Consistent moisture supports vibrant flowering during the active growing season.

Fertilize: Most succulents, including party dress, thrive in poor environments and typically don't require fertilization. A small amount of slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early summer, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent damage from excess nutrients.

Pruning: Party dress, a rosette-forming succulent, should be pruned in early to late spring by removing dead leaves and cutting back leggy growth. This fosters compactness, prevents disease, and promotes healthy new growth. Use clean, sharp tools and cut above a leaf node to encourage regrowth.

Propagation: To propagate party dress, gently collect healthy leaves and place them on well-draining soil in indirect sunlight. Monitor moisture to prevent waterlogging. Patience is essential, as roots and new growth can take several weeks to develop.
