Succulent & Cactus Soil
Soil Type
Water: Painted-lady thrives in arid environments, showing high drought tolerance. Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry completely between sessions. Primarily grown indoors for ornamental reasons, painted-lady adapts well to containers, requiring careful water management to avoid root rot.
Fertilize: Fertilize painted-lady quarterly with a diluted succulents-and-cacti formula to enhance growth and flowering, particularly in spring and summer. Avoid fertilizing in winter when painted-lady is dormant and over-fertilization. Apply on moist soil, distributing evenly around the base without contacting the foliage.
Pruning: To maintain the shape of painted-lady, prune dense or redundant branches in spring and fall using knives or scissors. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, treat the wound with sulfur powder, and plant once healed, using slightly moist soil.
Propagation: Painted-lady is a succulent that requires specific care for successful propagation. Use well-draining soil and propagate via intact leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous before planting, mist lightly without saturation, and maintain consistent care for several weeks to encourage root development and new growth.
Repotting: Repot painted-lady every 2 years in spring, using a slightly larger container to prevent waterlogging. Post-repotting, water minimally to support root health. Painted-lady thrives in well-draining soil within a pot that suits its petite size.
