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

Overwatering is the most common cause of problems.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged leaves, and control size. Pinch back stem tips to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess.

Pruning can be done anytime the plant needs tidying, but it is best to do it in spring before active growth begins.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or individual leaves. Allow cuttings or leaves to callous over for a few days before planting them in well-draining soil.

Roots typically form within a few weeks, especially in warm, bright conditions. Water sparingly until roots are established.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring, just as new growth begins, to minimize stress.
