Water Aquarius grisebachii thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune Aquarius grisebachii to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning can be done lightly in spring before new growth begins.
Harder pruning can be done after flowering if needed to encourage bushier growth.
Aquarius grisebachii can be propagated by stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the soil consistently moist and provide high humidity until roots form.
Repot Aquarius grisebachii every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, typically a blend for succulents or cacti.
Repot in spring before the active growing season.
