Care Tips
Light
- Bright sunlight is best
- In climates with hot summers, however, the plant benefits from light afternoon shade
Water
- Water the plant only during dry summer weather
- Blue finger is a drought-tolerant succulent that can survive long, dry periods
- Watch for signs that the plant needs water, especially leaves that begin to look shrunken or wilted
- Water the plant’s site deeply, and then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again
- Stop watering the plant in late summer or early autumn
- Withhold water completely during the winter months
Soil
- Cool soil places the plant at risk for stem rot
Temperature
- Prefer low temperature
- Be careful not to allow the plants to stay too warm; otherwise, their growth tends to become stretched and soft
Fertilizer
- Fertilize the plant in early spring with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
- A balanced fertilizer has equal portions of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
- Use a weak fertilizer solution mixed according to the specifications on the fertilizer package’s label
- Don’t overfertilize the plant. Too much fertilizer produces weak, lush growth that is prone to winter damage
- Don’t fertilize the plant during autumn
Pruning
- Prune the plant nearly to the ground in early spring
- Pruning removes old growth and makes room for healthy new growth
