How to keep Cotyledon Woodii.
Water
To care for Cotyledon woodii, it's important to water the plant thoughtfully, taking into account factors such as weather, plant health, soil moisture, and the type of pot used. During hot or dormant periods, reduce watering frequency to once every 1 to 2 weeks. In the summer, water the plant in the evening, and regularly check the leaves and soil for any signs of insufficient water.
Humidity
This plant prefers dry conditions, so don't mist it. However, watering it less often can also thrive in higher humidity.
Pruning
Cotyledon woodii has fleshy leaves and a compact form. To care for it effectively, remove any dead leaves and trim back leggy growth in early spring. This encourages the plant to become bushier, improves airflow, and helps reduce pests. Always use sterilized tools to make clean cuts and prevent disease.
