Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. In winter, reduce watering significantly, as the plant is dormant.

Ensure pots have excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems to improve air circulation and aesthetics. Pruning also helps prevent the plant from becoming too sprawling.

Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots typically form within a few weeks. Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.

Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
