Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, but do not let the soil become completely dry.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers. Overwatering is a common mistake.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or faded flower stems. Hard pruning is generally not recommended, as it can stress the plant.

Aim for a tidy appearance to promote better air circulation and plant health.

Propagate from seed sown in spring or from basal cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds can be slow to germinate. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium in a warm environment.

Division of established clumps in spring is also effective.

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

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
