Care Instructions
Aeonium lancerottense 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. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.Soil
This succulent prefers sandy soil with excellent drainage. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as they can lead to root rot. Adding perlite or coarse sand to the soil mix can improve drainage.Fertilizer
Fertilize Aeonium lancerottense with a balanced succulent fertilizer, such as 2-4-4, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, about once a month, to avoid over-fertilization, which can harm the plant.Repotting
Repot Aeonium lancerottense 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 soil mix.Propagation
Propagate Aeonium lancerottense 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 lancerottense 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 lancerottense is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always a good practice to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
