PLANTING & CARE
| Temperature | Prefers temperature of  65 – 75°F (16C – 24°C). |
| Water | Newly planted– During growth and flowering, watering every week is usually sufficient. An important note : An excess of water might induce elongation of the stems, which sometimes end up bending under the weight. Roots also tend to rot. Let the soil dry 2 cm deep before watering again. |
| Light | Place the pot in the sun behind a window facing south or west or in a well-lit area. Some semi-hardy species such as Bryophyllum laxiflorum tolerate a light frost. |
| Fertilizer | Fertilize every three months between March and September using a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted by half. |
| Pruning | Wear gloves to protect your skin, and slice off the leaf using a craft blade. Set the leaf on a sheet of newspaper in a dark, dry place for a few days until the cut-end dries out. Callusing or drying the leaf cutting will help keep it from rotting during the rooting process. |
