Water: Lety's sedeveria thrives in dry environments with minimal water needs, requiring watering only every three weeks. Its excellent drought tolerance means it prefers arid conditions. When grown indoors, ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot, vital for maintaining its health.

Fertilize: For optimal growth of lety's sedeveria, apply diluted succulents and cacti food monthly during spring and summer. Use quarter-strength dilution to prevent harm. Reduce feeding in fall and stop in winter. Water lety's sedeveria before fertilizing and ensure dry soil between waterings for better nutrient absorption.

Pruning: To maintain lety's sedeveria's shape, prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall. Use knives or scissors, and apply sulfur powder to cuts. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, heal the wound, and plant in slightly moist soil during spring and fall.

Propagation: Lety's sedeveria is an easy-care succulent hybrid. Propagate by taking a healthy stem cutting and allowing it to callous for 1-2 days before planting in well-draining soil. Keep in bright, indirect light and water sparingly; roots will establish within weeks for ongoing care.

Repotting: Lety's sedeveria should be repotted every 2 years in spring for optimal growth. Choose a pot slightly larger to avoid excess moisture. After repotting, provide bright indirect light and water sparingly to prevent root rot, crucial for lety's sedeveria's delicate roots during this transition.
