Water: Jeweled Crown thrives in conditions mimicking its native habitat with intermittent rains. It is drought-tolerant, requiring watering every three weeks with soil drying completely in between. Typically grown indoors, jeweled Crown benefits from well-draining containers to prevent waterlogging and promote healthy growth.

Fertilize: Most succulent plants thrive in poor environments and typically do not require fertilization. A small amount of slow-release fertilizer can be added in early summer, but it is optional. Avoid fertilizing during dormancy to prevent potential damage from excess nutrients.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of large succulent plants like jeweled Crown, prune redundant or overly dense branches in spring and fall. For propagation, cut a sturdy stem with 5-6 leaves, apply sulfur powder to the wound, and plant it after healing in slightly moist soil.

Propagation: Propagation of jeweled Crown is commonly achieved through leaf cuttings rather than seeds. In spring or fall, select a healthy leaf, place it on slightly humid soil, and maintain a temperature of 25℃ (77℉) with bright, scattered light. A bud will emerge in one to two weeks.
