Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common problem and can lead to root rot.

Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil are dry, usually once every 2-4 weeks depending on environmental conditions. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flower stalks and any leggy or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done year-round to manage size and appearance.

Use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts.

Propagate by stem cuttings taken during spring or summer. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining potting mix. Keep lightly moist and in bright, indirect light.

Roots typically form within 3-4 weeks.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.
