Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.
Prune to shape and encourage branching. Remove dead or weak stems. Pruning can be done after flowering to maintain a compact form.
Easily propagated from seed or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining succulent mix.
