Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth.

For more drastic shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seeds sown in spring. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium.

Seed propagation requires patience and may have variable results depending on the source.

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

Trim some of the root ball if it is excessively dense.
