Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. In warmer months, increase watering frequency, but ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during cooler, dormant periods to mimic its natural dry spells.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Propagation is typically done through seeds, which require stratification and a warm, moist environment for germination. Cuttings can also be taken from mature stems, but are generally more challenging to root successfully.

Repot young plants annually in spring to provide fresh soil and more space. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.
