Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering significantly in winter dormancy, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely bone dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage a more compact growth habit. Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the plant.

Propagation is typically done by sowing seeds in spring or by taking cuttings in late spring or early summer. Seeds may require stratification.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium and kept in a warm, humid environment.

Repot young plants annually or biennially in spring as needed, typically when root-bound. Mature plants require repotting less frequently.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
