Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy. Water from the bottom if possible to encourage stronger root growth.

Prune to remove dead or damaged leaves and to maintain shape. Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors. Pruning is generally minimal for this species; focus on tidiness. Do not prune heavily as it is slow-growing.

Easily propagated from leaf or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks. Water sparingly until roots are established.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Use a gritty, well-draining succulent mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring before active growth begins.
