Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during cooler months when growth slows.

Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture retention.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can encourage bushier growth and improve air circulation.

For flowering, prune lightly after the blooming period to shape the plant.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and in a warm, humid environment.

Alternatively, propagate from seed sown in spring, but expect a longer time to maturity.

Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend with added perlite.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive soil moisture retention.
