1. Fertilizer
When we fertilize flapjack succulents, it is best to use some custom-made succulent mixture containing gardening sand and compost.
 
2. Watering
Flapjack succulent does not need to be watered frequently, and long-term moist soil is undoubtedly fatal to it. We have to use some methods to determine whether plants need watering. For example, you can carefully squeeze one of the fleshy leaves with your fingers. If it is full, it means that it has absorbed enough water. Otherwise, you need to water it.
 
3. Lighting
If there are many things in your home that block the light from entering, please move the flapjack succulent to a sunny place. Staying in the shade for a long time is not conducive to its growth, and will cause moist soil to cause many diseases. In addition, Flapjack succulent requires plenty of sunlight for the leaves to appear red.
 
Special Tips:
Flapjack succulent grows slowly, and it takes several years to grow a few inches. When it is fully mature, it can grow to 18 inches high and wide. If you want it to spread for many years, don't plant other plants around it.
