Care instructions

Watering

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, and then water the plant deeply. Avoid overwatering, as succulents are prone to root rot. Adjust the watering frequency based on the weather and the moisture level of the soil.

Soil

Plant Cotyledon orbiculata 'Green' in well-draining soil. A mix of cactus or succulent potting mix with perlite or pumice works well to ensure proper drainage.

Sunlight

Provide Cotyledon orbiculata 'Green' with bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but protect it from intense midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.

Prunning

Cotyledon orbiculata 'Green' generally requires minimal pruning. However, you can trim back any leggy or overgrown stems to maintain a more compact and attractive shape. Take care when handling the plant, as some species of Cotyledon can produce a milky sap that may cause skin irritation.

Fertilser

Feed the plant sparingly during the active growing season. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer formulated for succulents and follow the instructions on the packaging. Avoid overfertilizing, as this can lead to leggy growth.

Pests & Disease

Monitor the plant for common succulent pests such as mealybugs and spider mites. If you notice any signs of infestation, treat the plant with an appropriate insecticide or use natural pest control methods. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal diseases.
