Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, which this succulent dislikes.

Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged foliage. Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp tools to make cuts. Pruning can also be done after flowering to tidy up the plant.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Water lightly once roots have formed.

This method is highly successful for increasing your plant collection.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one with drainage holes. Repot in spring for best results.
