Water
Water deeply but infrequently once established. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. It is highly drought-tolerant and prefers arid conditions.

Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water deeply but infrequently once established. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. It is highly drought-tolerant and prefers arid conditions.
Prune lightly in late spring or early summer to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged stems at any time. Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the plant.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Seeds can also be sown in spring. Ensure cuttings are rooted in well-draining soil.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, using a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging.
