Fertilization
Diluted balanced succulent feed once every 2 months. Use low-nitrogen, diluted liquid feed to support healthy leaf growth without promoting soft, vulnerable foliage
Eggshell powder top dressing：Crush fully dried eggshells into fine powder; sprinkle a thin layer on the soil surface, avoiding direct contact with leaves to prevent irritationPruning
- Gently remove dried, dead leaves from the base of rosettes to maintain airflow and tidy appearance
- Trim off spent flower stalks after blooming to conserve the plant's energy for new growth
- Divide overcrowded clumps in early spring to propagate new plants and reduce competition for resources
