Care Instructions
Aeonium undulatum 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 as it can lead to root rot.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining sandy soil. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to the plant's health.Fertilizer
Fertilize Aeonium undulatum with a balanced succulent fertilizer, such as a 2-4-4 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as too much can harm the plant.Repotting
Repot Aeonium undulatum 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.Propagation
Propagate Aeonium undulatum 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 undulatum to remove dead or damaged leaves and to maintain its shape. Pruning can be done during the growing season. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.Toxicity
Aeonium undulatum is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.Additional
Aeonium undulatum can be grown both indoors and outdoors. When grown indoors, place it near a sunny window to ensure it receives enough light. During its dormancy period in the summer, reduce watering and allow the plant to rest.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
