Aeonium tabuliforme requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate low humidity. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering, especially during its dormancy period in the summer.Soil
This plant thrives in well-draining, sandy soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot, as Aeonium tabuliforme is susceptible to overwatering.Fertilizer
Fertilize Aeonium tabuliforme with a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer (2-4-4) during its active growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, about once a month, to avoid over-fertilization.Repotting

Propagate Aeonium tabuliforme by leaf cuttings or offsets. Take cuttings during the active 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 new growth appears.Pruning
Pruning is generally not required for Aeonium tabuliforme. However, you can remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.Toxicity
Aeonium tabuliforme is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to have around children and animals.Additional
