Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. Water thoroughly when you do water, ensuring excess drains away.

Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged stems. Cuttings can be used for propagation. Pruning is best done in spring before active growth begins. Avoid heavy pruning unless necessary.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings of about 10-15 cm in length and allow the cut end to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Repotting is best done in spring.
