Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Gasteria pillansii is drought-tolerant, and overwatering can lead to root rot. Water less frequently during winter months to accommodate its dormancy period.

Pruning is generally not required for Gasteria pillansii. Remove any dead or damaged leaves close to the base of the plant using clean, sharp scissors or a knife.

This helps maintain a tidy appearance and prevents disease.

Gasteria pillansii can be propagated through offsets (pups) or leaf cuttings. Gently separate offsets from the mother plant and allow them to callous over before planting in well-draining soil.

Leaf cuttings require patience, but can also be successful.

Repot your Gasteria pillansii every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
