Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter.

Coral-pea prefers well-draining soil and can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered, especially in cooler conditions.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Hard pruning can be done in late winter or early spring if needed to rejuvenate an older plant.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or by seed, which may require scarification and soaking before sowing. Germination can be slow and irregular, making cuttings a more reliable method for many gardeners.

Repot in spring when the plant becomes root-bound, typically every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
