Water consistently to keep the soil moderately moist, especially during its active growth period. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly during dormant periods.

Ensure good drainage to prevent issues.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back young stems to promote branching. Remove spent flowers to prevent self-seeding and encourage more blooms.

Cut back plants in late fall or early spring to remove dead or overgrown stems.

Easily propagated from seeds sown directly in the garden after the last frost or started indoors a few weeks prior. Cuttings can also be taken from healthy stems and rooted in moist soil or water, typically in spring or early summer.

Repot young plants annually or as needed when root-bound, usually in spring. Mature plants may not require frequent repotting. Choose a pot with excellent drainage.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.
