1. How to propagate the succulent Xiaomi Xing?

Xiaomi Xing is generally propagated by the beheading method. When propagating, cut off a healthy, robust branch with a length of 3-5 cm, let it dry, then insert it directly into dry granular soil or a soil mix based mainly on vermiculite, and after 3-5 days water it lightly.

1. Soil

Choose loose soil; you can use cinder and then add some peat, and spread a layer of small stones on top.

2. Temperature

In summer, be careful to place it in a relatively cool spot, and in winter, appropriately give Xiaomi Xing a slightly cool spot; the temperature should not be too cold, around 10°C is fine.

3. Light

The growing season of Xiaomi Xing is from September to June of the following year; you can give it plenty of light so it can carry out photosynthesis better. But in summer, when the light is intense, you need to give it appropriate shade; by both letting the light meet its growth needs and satisfying its need for a shaded environment, you can let Xiaomi Xing get through summer easily.

4. Watering

When watering Xiaomi Xing, just like most succulents, you do not need to water too much. Entering summer, Xiaomi Xing will enter a dormant period, but summer evaporation is relatively high, so in addition to appropriate watering, you should also increase the number of times you spray water on the leaves, and place it in a cool, ventilated spot to grow. Basically cut off water throughout winter, and below 5 degrees you should begin to gradually cut off water.
