Care Guide for Satin spoonfig

Ideal Temperature

Water: Satin spoonfig requires careful watering based on its state and weather, rather than a fixed schedule. In dormancy, reduce watering to every 1-2 weeks. Factors include seasonal timing, plant symptoms indicating thirst, soil moisture, and pot type, all influencing watering frequency and practices.

Fertilize: Most succulents, including satin spoonfig, thrive in nutrient-poor environments and generally do not require fertilization. A little slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early summer, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent nutrient damage to growth.

Pruning: Satin spoonfig flourishes with annual pruning in early spring, focusing on dead or damaged branches to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Clean, angled cuts reduce disease risk, while consistent pruning prevents legginess and encourages fuller foliage, aligning with the plant's natural growth cycle.

Propagation: Succulent propagation can be done by using leaves, which is preferred over seed sowing due to germination difficulties. In spring or autumn, cut a whole leaf, lay it on slightly humid soil, and ensure a warm (25℃) and well-lit environment. A bud will emerge in 1-2 weeks.
