Water deeply but infrequently once established. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as overwatering is detrimental.

Container plants will require more frequent watering, especially during hot, dry periods, but still prioritize good drainage.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness. Light pruning can be done anytime to remove dead or crossing branches.

Avoid heavy pruning in late fall or winter, as it can stimulate new growth that may be damaged by frost.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Maintain high humidity and moderate temperatures until roots form.

This method generally yields the best results.

Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Handle the root ball gently to avoid damage.

Repot in spring before the main growing season begins.
