Sunrise Succulent Care

It's best to let the soil dry out completely before watering again. Depending on the humidity and temperature of your environment, watering once every week or two should do the trick. Just be cautious not to overwater, as this plant is sensitive to too much moisture.

The plant does not require pruning, but remove any dead or damaged leaves if you want to encourage more growth. This will not only make the plant more visually appealing, but it will also direct the plant's energy toward growing more healthy foliage.

Sunrise Succulent does not require fertilizing, but if you do, use a balanced fertilizer with a 20-20-20 or 30-10-10 ratio. Fertilize only during the growing season (spring and summer), and dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid over-fertilization.

This Anacampseros prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It is best to keep the plant in a location that receives at least a few hours of direct sunlight, but not too much, as this could cause it to become sunburned.

This succulent prefers nutrient-rich and well-draining soil. You can either use a cactus or succulent mix from the store or make your own by combining potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand in equal parts. Avoid using soil that retains too much moisture, as it can lead to root rot.

The succulent is easy to propagate. You can use stem or leaf cuttings; simply cut a limb from the plant's base and place it in a well-draining potting mix. Then, keep the soil moist, and you should see new growth in a few weeks.

Temperature-wise, the Anacampseros rufescens is quite hardy and can withstand temperatures ranging from 10-27°C (50-80°F). Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 10°C (50°F) or placing it in drafty areas, as this may cause damage.

You can grow it in a small pot or container with well-draining soil, just make sure it has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

The Sunrise Succulent can sometimes be referred to as a "living stone" plant because its leaves resemble pebbles.
