Care Instructions
Aeonium haworthii requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate low humidity levels. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This succulent is relatively easy to care for and can be grown both indoors and outdoors.Soil
Aeonium haworthii prefers well-draining sandy soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal for this plant. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot, as the plant does not tolerate waterlogged conditions.Fertilizer
Fertilize Aeonium haworthii with a balanced succulent fertilizer, such as a 2-4-4 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, about once a month, to avoid over-fertilization.Repotting
Repot Aeonium haworthii every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh succulent mix.Propagation
Propagate Aeonium haworthii through stem cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, allow them to callous over for a few days, and then plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until roots develop.Pruning
Prune Aeonium haworthii to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning can be done during the growing season. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.Toxicity
Aeonium haworthii is not toxic to pets or humans. It is a safe plant to have around children and animals.Additional
Aeonium haworthii can enter a dormancy period during the hot summer months, during which it may require less water. Reduce watering during this time to prevent root rot. This plant is also relatively pest-resistant but watch out for common succulent pests like mealybugs and aphids.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
