👀 Characteristics details
For rosette-shaped plants, be careful when watering. Avoid getting water on the leaves to prevent rot. After watering, ensure good air circulation to remove moisture.

🌱 Propagate
After about two years of growth, it is common to propagate by division during spring repotting, although the efficiency is low. 1. Remove the plant from the pot and decide how many sections to divide it into. 2. Carefully separate the roots according to the number of sections decided. (Be cautious not to damage the roots by pulling them apart too quickly.) 3. If the roots are tightly tangled, use sterilized scissors to separate them. 4. After dividing, plant each section into its respective pot.
💊 Fertilize
It is recommended to fertilize 2-3 times during spring and summer. You may increase the amount of fertilizer depending on the size and light exposure. Avoid fertilizing immediately after repotting; wait 2-4 weeks before applying fertilizer.
🌺 Flower
Typically, these plants bloom in winter, but they may not flower if there is insufficient light. Some species only bloom after several years of growth when they are mature. It is challenging to see flowers when grown indoors.
