Does Orostachys boehmeri die after blooming? Causes and solutions

Orostachys boehmeri has fairly attractive leaf shapes and colors, giving it some ornamental value. Its flowers and leaves are quite nice. So when does Orostachys boehmeri bloom? Will it die after blooming? Below, the editor will introduce a thing or two about this.

Orostachys boehmeri mainly blooms in autumn, and its flowers are quite vigorous; in Jinan it can bloom from September all the way to November, a big column, and the flowers are fragrant, attracting bees and butterflies. Under artificial cultivation it sometimes blooms twice a year, once in spring and once in autumn; perhaps the artificial environment has changed its cycle.

However, the genus Orostachys has a characteristic: it dies after blooming. So once you find signs that Orostachys boehmeri is about to bloom, if you do not want the plant to die, you should cut it off immediately! Otherwise, the whole plant will die.

After it finishes blooming in early winter, the mother plant with the inflorescence dies, and the vigorous leaves that grew in summer gradually dry out, while the inner leaves wrap tighter and tighter, looking just like little cabbages, very sturdy ones. When spring comes, it slowly sprouts again, the cabbage begins to slowly open, stretching out little hands one by one, and starts holding pups again, cycling over and over. Watering and warming in early spring can break dormancy ahead of time.
