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 problems. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged leaves, and encourage branching. Use clean, sharp tools. Pruning can also be done to propagate new plants from cuttings.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins. Water lightly after repotting.
