How to care for Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ (4 inch)
Sun/Temperature: If you want your Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ to look its best, ensure it gets plenty of sunlight. However, protecting it from the harsh summer sun is also essential to prevent damage to its leaves. It would help if you kept the temperature between 60 and 75°F for Aeonium ‘Pink Witch and never let it drop below 40°F. And in the summer and winter, remember that this succulent takes a little break, so shield it from too much sun and keep it cozy and warm. With some care and attention, your Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ will thrive and show off its beautiful colors and form.
Soil: Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ likes to grow in a dry soil environment, so its potting soil should be loose, breathable, and well-drained. The granular soil is the leading choice, and you can add a small amount of organic fertilizer for succulents, which is more suitable for succulent growth. The proportion of soil particles is about 50% appropriate. To avoid soil crusting, potting soil is best; changing it once a year can prevent soil crusting. The best time to change pots is in spring and fall. When changing pots, pay attention to the roots, which should be properly pruned to promote the rapid growth of the roots.
Watering: Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ leaves have a high water storage capacity and are relatively drought resistant. Water your plants every ten days in spring and fall and every 20 days in summer and winter. Softening of the bottom leaves of ‘Pink Witch’ is a sign of water shortage, so follow the soak and dry watering method.
Pot: Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ requires a pot with drainage holes. In addition, a more bottomless pot will provide more soil volume for the succulent to spread its root system, which will help stabilize the plant and help it absorb nutrients.
Propagation: Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ tends to produce cutting in the spring, which can be separated into new plants. The cutting must be cut off with a sharp knife and placed in an excellent place to dry the wound. After drying out:
1. Insert the cutting into dry soil.
2. Wait for the roots to grow.
3. Keep the soil moist until the roots have grown, and then water it as usual.
Fertilization: Do not fertilize Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ when it is dormant in summer and winter. In spring and autumn, Aeonium ‘Pink Witch’ can be fertilized with diluted organic fertilizer once a month during its growth phase.
