Water: Pachyveria elaine is a drought-tolerant plant ideal for arid climates, needing water only once every three weeks. As an evergreen succulent, it stores moisture in its leaves, making it suitable for indoor growth with controlled humidity.

Fertilize: Fertilize pachyveria elaine quarterly with diluted succulents and cacti food during spring and summer, using a quarter of the recommended strength to prevent burn. Avoid fertilization in winter. Ensure soil is moist before feeding, and use a pipette for accurate application.

Pruning: To maintain a beautiful shape, prune large succulent plants like pachyveria elaine in spring and fall by cutting redundant or dense branches. For propagation, select a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, cut it, apply sulfur powder to the wound, and plant after healing in slightly moist soil.

Propagation: Succulents can be propagated primarily through leaf cuttings, preferably in spring or fall. Cut a healthy leaf, place it on slightly humid soil with the base near the soil surface, and ensure a suitable temperature of 25℃ (77℉) and bright, scattered light. A bud will emerge in 1-2 weeks.

Repotting: Repot pachyveria elaine every 2 years to enhance root growth, ideally in spring. Use a slightly larger pot with drainage holes to avoid waterlogging. After repotting, water minimally for a smooth transition. Pachyveria elaine is hardy, allowing for minor care errors.
