Water: Bulbose stonecrop thrives in arid conditions, requiring minimal water due to its ability to store moisture in fleshy leaves. Watering should occur every three weeks. This drought-tolerant, evergreen plant is typically grown outdoors and efficiently conserves water with its thick foliage.

Fertilize: Fertilize bulbose stonecrop with a balanced, water-soluble succulent food in spring and summer, applying quarterly at half-strength. Water bulbose stonecrop before fertilizing to prevent root burn. Reduce feeding in fall and stop in winter, aligning with dormancy for optimal growth and resilience.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of bulbose stonecrop, prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves in spring or fall, apply sulfur powder to the wound, and plant it in slightly wet soil after healing.

Propagation: Succulents can be propagated using leaves or seeds, although seeds are challenging to germinate. For leaf propagation, select a healthy leaf, lay it on slightly humid soil, and provide temperatures around 25℃ (77℉) and bright, scattered light. A bud will emerge in one to two weeks.

Repotting: Bulbose stonecrop should be repotted biennially in spring. It prefers shallow, wide containers that suit its spreading habit. Use well-draining soil and maintain moderate watering to aid recovery, keeping in mind its easy-care nature and propensity to produce offshoots.
