How to care for Anacampseros Telephiastrum 'Variegata'

Sun/Temperature: It thrives in temperatures between 50-85 H. During winter, the leaves may become soft, but as long as the temperature remains above 40 H, it won't affect its health. It enjoys ample sunlight, but in summer, it needs some shade to prevent sunburn.

Soil/Watering: The growing medium can be predominantly peat-based with some perlite and pumice added, with a particle ratio of around 40%. When watering, bath watering is recommended, ensuring the soil is dry before watering.

Fertilizer: To promote full leaf growth, fertilization is beneficial. Organic or diluted multi-element compound fertilizers can be applied monthly or bimonthly.

Pot: Choosing the right pot is also crucial. Since its roots are shallow, shallow pots with proper drainage holes are suitable for planting.

Trimming: Spring and autumn are its peak growth periods, so pruning its elongated and weak branches can reduce nutrient consumption and maintain its shape.

Propagation: Anacampseros Telephiastrum 'Variegata' is easy to propagate through stem cuttings. Healthy top branches or offshoots can be cut, dried, and then planted in soil.
