Water: Broad-leaved stonecrop is a drought-tolerant evergreen plant, thriving in arid conditions with minimal water needs, requiring watering approximately once every three weeks. Its leaf retention throughout the year minimizes water loss through transpiration, enhancing its adaptability to dry environments.
Fertilize: For optimal growth, fertilize broad-leaved stonecrop with specialized food during spring and summer. Feed quarterly at half strength to prevent nutrient burn, avoiding winter fertilization. Diluted fertilizer ensures even distribution, while monitoring broad-leaved stonecrop's response helps adjust care for healthier growth.
Pruning: To maintain a lovely shape, large succulent plants like broad-leaved stonecrop require pruning in spring and fall, removing dense branches. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, treat the wound with sulfur powder, and plant once healed. Keep the soil slightly moist.
Propagation: Broad-leaved stonecrop, from the Crassulaceae family, thrives in tough conditions and propagates well from seeds. Use well-draining soil, press seeds lightly, and maintain moisture without overwatering. Germination takes longer, but patience leads to a strong root system and resilient plants.
Repotting: Broad-leaved stonecrop requires excellent drainage in pots to thrive, ensuring it avoids root rot and maintains optimal moisture levels for growth.
