Aucamp's living stone · Pruning

Living stones are succulent plants that mimic stones as a form of camouflage. They are generally easy to care for. Key special care points involve minimal watering—only when the soil is completely dry, and avoiding water on the leaves. They require bright light but should be protected from intense, direct sunlight. It's also crucial to provide a well-draining soil mix to prevent root rot.

How to Prune Aucamp's living stone?

In order to keep beautiful shape, some large succulent plants may need pruning. For example, in California, for echeveria planted in the garden, some redundant branches and branches that are too dense need to be cut off in spring and autumn. This depends on what you think and what the succulent plant is used for. Tools for pruning mainly include knife, scissors, and some medicines (such as sulfur powder). In order to propagate new plants, we can also cut some leaves in spring and autumn for cutting. Stout stems with 5-6 leaves are often selected: cut it off with a knife, then smear the wound with sulfur powder, and plant it after the wound is healed. At this time, it is recommended to use a watering can to slightly wet the soil used for cutting.
