Water: Corsican stonecrop thrives in rocky, drought-prone environments, requiring minimal water—about once every three weeks. It prefers well-draining soil and can endure long dry spells, benefiting from natural rainwater and occasional watering. Ideal for rock gardens, corsican stonecrop exhibits remarkable resilience during its growing season.

Fertilize: For corsican stonecrop, use a succulent-specific fertilizer bi-monthly in spring and summer at half strength. Avoid winter feeding during dormancy. Use conservative amounts to prevent root burn and adjust feeding based on corsican stonecrop's response, as over-fertilization can lead to leggy growth.

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

Propagation: Corsican stonecrop is a hardy succulent that thrives in well-draining soil with minimal water. Propagate via stem cuttings by allowing the cut end to callus, then plant in bright, indirect light. Maintain consistently moist soil and warm temperatures, monitoring for rot.

Repotting: Repot corsican stonecrop every 2 years in early spring to enhance growth. Use shallow, wide containers that match its root spread. After repotting, provide bright, indirect light and limited watering to prevent root rot, aiding a quick recovery to its lush appearance.
