How to care for Anacampseros Telephiastrum 'Variegata'
Sun/Temperature: It thrives in temperatures between 50-85 ℉. During winter, the leaves may become soft, but as long as the temperature remains above 40 ℉, 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.
