Water: Pink mongolian stonecrop is a drought-tolerant evergreen plant requiring minimal moisture, needing watering only every three weeks. It thrives in well-draining soil to avoid root rot, and its adaptation allows it to photosynthesize year-round, even in arid conditions.

Fertilize: Pink mongolian stonecrop benefits from mild fertilization using a succulent-specific formula to enhance blooms. Apply diluted feed quarterly at half-strength, reducing in winter. Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent root burn by ensuring well-draining soil. Adjust feeding according to seasonal growth patterns for optimal health.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of pink mongolian stonecrop, pruning of dense or redundant branches is recommended in spring and autumn. Propagation can be done by cutting stout stems with 5-6 leaves, applying sulfur powder to wounds, and ensuring the soil is lightly moistened for cutting success.

Propagation: Succulent plants can be propagated by leaf cuttings, typically in spring or autumn. Cut a healthy leaf and lay it on slightly humid soil with the base close to the soil. Maintain a temperature of 25℃ (77℉) and bright, scattered light. A bud will emerge in one to two weeks.
