Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. In winter, reduce watering significantly, providing only enough to prevent severe wilting.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or leggy stems at any time. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage more blooms. Use clean, sharp tools to prevent disease spread.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or summer and allow them to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Keep slightly moist and warm until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
