Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically once every 1-2 weeks during the growing season.

Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging.

Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged stems. Pruning can be done at any time, but it's best to do it in spring before new growth begins. Wear gloves as the sap can be irritating.

Cut back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Allow the cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Keep the soil slightly moist and place in a warm, bright location.

Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.

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.

Repotting is best done in spring when active growth is starting.
