Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is detrimental, especially during cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune sparingly to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems. Minimal pruning is typically required for this species. Heavy pruning can stress the plant.
Propagation is best achieved through stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Allow cuttings to callous for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years, when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix, and a pot only slightly larger than the previous one.
