Water:
Water gold Nugget Chick Charms based on its state and external conditions rather than a fixed schedule. In dormancy, reduce watering to once every 1-2 weeks. Observe leaf symptoms, soil moisture, and pot type for effective watering: porous pots need more frequent watering than non-porous ones.
Fertilize:
Most gold Nugget Chick Charms thrive in poor conditions and do not require fertilization. If desired, a small amount of slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early summer, but avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent potential damage from excess nutrients.
Pruning:
Gold Nugget Chick Charms is a hardy succulent with a rosette shape and gold-tipped foliage. Prune in early spring to remove dead leaves and encourage growth, using sterilized tools. This improves air circulation and light penetration, helping maintain the plant's compact form.
Propagation:
Propagation of gold Nugget Chick Charms is commonly achieved through leaf cuttings rather than seeds, which are hard to germinate. Cut a healthy leaf in spring or autumn, place it flat on slightly humid soil at 25℃ (77℉) with bright scattered light, and a bud will appear in one to two weeks.
