Fertilize: Most succulents, like ×Graptosedum 'Bronze', thrive in poor soil and typically do not require fertilization. A small amount of slow-release fertilizer can be added in early summer. Avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent potential damage from excess nutrients.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of ×Graptosedum 'Bronze', prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, apply sulfur powder to the wound, and plant it after healing. Ensure soil is slightly moist for optimal growth.

Propagation: Propagating ×Graptosedum 'Bronze' can be done using leaves instead of seeds, which are hard to germinate. Cut a healthy leaf, place it on slightly humid soil at 25℃ (77℉) with bright, scattered light. In one to two weeks, a bud will develop at the leaf base.
