Water: Tiscalatengo gorge sedum thrives in high-altitude habitats, tolerating drought through water storage in its fleshy leaves. It requires minimal watering, about once every 2-3 weeks, and benefits from occasional misting to maintain humidity. Suitable for indoor growth, it's valued for its attractive foliage and low maintenance.

Fertilize: Tiscalatengo gorge sedum thrives with quarter-strength succulent fertilizer monthly during the growing season to enhance growth and flowering. Over-fertilization should be avoided, especially in winter. Provide well-draining soil and adjust fertilization based on the plant's observed response and changing seasons.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of tiscalatengo gorge sedum, prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall using knives or scissors, applying sulfur powder to wounds. Propagate by cutting stems with 5-6 leaves, treating the cut with sulfur, and planting in slightly moist soil after the wound heals.

Propagation: Tiscalatengo gorge sedum is propagated through cuttings, using healthy, non-flowering stems. Allow the cut end to callous for 1-2 days before planting in well-draining soil. Maintain consistent moisture and warmth to promote root development while avoiding medium saturation to prevent decay.

Repotting: Tiscalatengo gorge sedum benefits from biennial repotting in spring, promoting healthy rosette growth. Use a larger pot with good drainage. After repotting, keep tiscalatengo gorge sedum in bright, indirect light and water after one week to support root recovery. Proper watering is crucial due to its fleshy leaves.
