Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, ensuring excess water drains away.

Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent waterlogging and root rot.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or leggy stems, and encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or a knife. Pinching back the tips of stems will promote branching.

Pruning can be done anytime during the growing season.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.

Can also be propagated from leaf cuttings, though this is slower.

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

Repotting is best done in the spring before the active growing season begins.
