Water: Porcelain Plant prefers infrequent yet thorough watering, thriving in semi-arid conditions. It is drought-tolerant, benefiting from dry periods between waterings. For optimal health, water porcelain Plant every three weeks, as it is commonly grown indoors where stable temperatures and soil moisture are maintained.

Fertilize: For porcelain Plant, use a succulents and cacti-specific fertilizer during spring and summer, applying quarterly at half strength. Water porcelain Plant before fertilizing to prevent root burn. Reduce feeding in fall and stop in winter to promote healthy growth and flowering without over-fertilization.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of porcelain Plant, prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall. For propagation, cut a stem with 5-6 leaves in spring or fall, treat the wound with sulfur powder, and plant after healing. Keep the soil slightly moist during planting.

Propagation: Porcelain Plant is a succulent that propagates well from cuttings. Use healthy leaves or stems, allowing them to callous before planting in well-draining soil. Water gently to encourage root growth, and provide strong indirect sunlight to promote healthy development without burning tender tissues.

Repotting: The compact succulent porcelain Plant is perfect for shelf displays. Repot biennially in spring using a slightly larger pot with drainage. After repotting, place porcelain Plant in bright, indirect light and water once settled to avoid root rot. Consistency and gentleness are key for its growth.
