Saw-leaved liveforever has moderate disease resistance and is more sensitive to humidity. It becomes susceptible to disease in high-humidity conditions and is likely to develop root rot during dormancy. In terms of care, it is drought-tolerant but requires increased watering in the growing season. Watering should be greatly reduced or stopped completely while it is dormant. Saw-leaved liveforever is suitable for growers with some experience, but it can be challenging to care for, particularly during the dormant period. It is especially appropriate for people who can dedicate time to its care during the winter months.
How to keep Rosularia Libanotica.
Light
Saw-leaved liveforever comes from environments with dappled light, such as the forest understory or rocky areas that provide natural shade. It prefers partial sun but can also tolerate full sun.
Temperature
Although Saw-leaved liveforever tolerates some heat, it mainly thrives and grows in the cooler seasons and becomes dormant in summer. In hot summer weather, provide shade to prevent scorching from intense sunlight. Watering should be reduced or stopped during the hottest period to avoid root rot. Saw-leaved liveforever shows vigorous growth in winter and spring; provided the temperature does not fall too low, it will continue to grow steadily.
Fertilizer
For Saw-leaved liveforever, light applications of fertilizer once or twice a year during the growing season are sufficient. Avoid fertilizing in winter and summer when the plant is dormant. Cut back on fertilizer for repotted plants and wait a couple of months after repotting before you start feeding. Fertilizing promotes healthy growth and encourages flowering.
