Hylotelephium caucasicum

Hylotelephium caucasicum is a hardy succulent that thrives in rocky alpine terrains, where its drought-resistant leaves form plush rosettes. In warmer months, hylotelephium caucasicum boasts clusters of star-shaped, soft-pink flowers that attract pollinators. Its ability to store water within thick leaves allows it to flourish in well-drained soils, despite harsh, sun-scorched conditions.

Water: Hylotelephium caucasicum requires careful watering based on environmental conditions. Watering should be reduced during dormancy, typically every 1-2 weeks. Adjust watering time seasonally, and monitor the plant's state and soil moisture. Pot material affects watering frequency; porous pots need more frequent watering than non-permeable pots.

Fertilize: Most succulent plants thrive in poor environments and generally require no fertilization. If desired, apply a slow-release fertilizer in early summer, avoiding fertilization during dormancy to prevent nutrient damage. Proper care ensures healthy growth without reliance on additional nutrients.

Pruning: Hylotelephium caucasicum has succulent leaves and star-shaped flowers. Prune in early spring by removing dead stems and shaping to encourage growth. Avoid over-pruning to prevent stress, and use clean, sharp tools. Regular pruning enhances foliage health and promotes abundant blooms.

Propagation: Propagation of hylotelephium caucasicum is primarily achieved via leaf cuttings, typically in spring and autumn. Cut a healthy leaf, place it flat on slightly humid soil, ensuring the base is close to the soil. Maintain a suitable temperature (25℃) and bright, scattered light; buds will appear in 1-2 weeks.
