Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in drier conditions.

Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil are dry, but ensure excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging. Reduce watering significantly during dormancy.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done in late spring or early summer after flowering. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the plant.

Remove any suckers that emerge from the base of the plant.

Propagation is best achieved through stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Use a sharp, sterilized knife to take cuttings of about 10-15 cm.

Allow the cuttings to callus for a few days before planting them in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years, and older plants as needed, typically in early spring before new growth begins. Choose a pot with drainage holes and use a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix.

Repotting can help refresh the soil and provide space for root growth.
