Water
Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically every 2-4 weeks in the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Overwatering leads to root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically every 2-4 weeks in the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Overwatering leads to root rot.
Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or leggy stems, and encourage bushier growth. Trim back stems as needed, using clean, sharp scissors or shears. Pruning can be done anytime during the growing season.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots will form within a few weeks. Can also be propagated from leaf cuttings.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring.
