Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Allow excess water to drain completely. Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormancy period.
Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems. Use clean, sharp pruning shears. Pruning helps to promote a more compact and aesthetically pleasing form.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Allow cuttings to callus for a day or two before planting in well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
