Water: Monanthes muralis thrives in rocky habitats and demonstrates excellent drought tolerance, requiring watering only once every three weeks. It prefers well-draining soil and is ideal for container gardening, making it a low-maintenance choice for indoor plant enthusiasts.

Fertilize: Most succulent plants thrive in poor environments and typically do not require fertilization. A small amount of slow-release fertilizer can be added in early summer, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent nutrient damage to monanthes muralis's growth.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of monanthes muralis, prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall using tools like knives or scissors. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, treat the wound with sulfur powder, and plant after it heals, using slightly moist soil.

Propagation: To propagate monanthes muralis, collecting seeds is possible but challenging. Leaf cuttings are preferred, typically during spring or fall. Cut a healthy leaf, place it on slightly humid soil, and provide 25℃ (77℉) and bright, scattered light. A bud will appear in one to two weeks.
