Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter period, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to mimic its natural environment.

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges to shape the plant and remove any dead or leggy stems. Pinch back the tips of young stems to encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, which can stress the plant.

Propagate from 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 bottom heat for best results.

Roots typically form within 4-6 weeks.

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

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
