Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions which are detrimental to this succulent.

Prune to shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning can also encourage denser growth. Use clean, sharp tools to make cuts. It's best to prune in spring or early summer before active growth begins.

Avoid excessive pruning as it can stress the plant.

Propagate from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for several days before planting in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots form. This can take several weeks.

Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy, mature plants for best success.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring before the active growing season to minimize stress.
