Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. Water thoroughly when you do water, ensuring excess water drains away.

Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormant period to prevent rot and promote a healthy rest.

Prune sparingly to remove dead or damaged leaves. You can also remove spent flower spikes to encourage further blooming or tidy up the plant's shape.

Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors to make clean cuts and prevent disease.

Easily propagated from offsets (pups) that grow around the base of the mother plant. Once the pups are a few inches tall and have developed their own roots, gently separate them from the parent plant using a clean knife.

Allow the cut end to callus over for a day or two before potting.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents or cacti. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.

Handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging its roots.
