Water: Stonecrops 'Wildfire' requires minimal watering based on environmental conditions and its state. During dormancy in extreme weather, reduce watering to once every 1-2 weeks. Observe leaf symptoms and soil moisture to assess the need for water, adjusting for pot type to maintain plant health.

Fertilize: Most stonecrops 'Wildfire' thrive in poor environments and typically do not require fertilization. A light application of slow-release fertilizer in early summer is acceptable, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent potential damage from excess nutrients.

Pruning: Stonecrops 'Wildfire' features vibrant foliage and is low maintenance. Prune in early spring to enhance growth and shape. Remove dead stems for airflow. Light post-bloom trimming encourages density. Timing aligns with the growth cycle for optimal health and rejuvenation.

Propagation: Succulents can be propagated through leaves, particularly in spring and fall. Cut a healthy leaf and lay it flat on slightly humid soil, ensuring it receives suitable temperature (25℃) and bright, scattered light. A bud typically appears at the leaf base within one to two weeks.

Repotting: Stonecrops 'Wildfire' requires pots with excellent drainage to thrive, preventing water accumulation that could harm the roots.
