2. Water

As mentioned above, Pachyveria 'Clavifolia' is fairly drought-tolerant, so it is best to water only after the surface layer of the soil has completely dried out.

3. Pruning

Pachyveria 'Clavifolia' grows relatively fast, and after a period of time it may become overgrown, which has many adverse effects on its ornamental value. Therefore, we can behead it at this time. The cut-off leaves can be used for propagation, and this will also promote the growth of side shoots, making it look even better.

3. Precautions

In summer, the temperature is relatively high and the air humidity is also relatively high. During this period, ventilation must be done well, and watering should be reduced at the same time. In winter, if the temperature is below 5°C, watering should also be appropriately reduced, and when it is below 0°C, watering should be stopped and the soil kept dry.
