How to Care for the Plant
Water
Speaking of water, “LiveForever” needs little water and should have an extended dry period between waterings. Sources advise withholding water in summer. Because this plant is accustomed to dry conditions in its native habitat, it is recommended to stop watering Dudleya succulents in summer.
Fertilizer
It can be fertilized once or twice a year with extreme parsimony.
Temperature
It is most likely to survive with temperatures above the low 40s F. (4 C.), and as with other succulents, Dudleya succulent care should include planting in a fast-draining, gritty planting medium.
