Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering is detrimental and can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during dormancy in summer, providing only minimal moisture to prevent complete desiccation.

Pruning is generally not required for Conophytum armianum. The plant maintains a compact form naturally. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent potential fungal issues.

Avoid cutting healthy tissue.

Propagate primarily through offsets or 'pups' that form at the base of the parent plant. Carefully detach these offsets when they have developed their own root system.

Allow the cut surface to dry for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring, just as new growth begins. Use a very gritty, well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the root ball to avoid excess moisture retention.
