Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Overwatering is a common cause of root rot.

Prune sparingly to maintain shape or remove dead or damaged leaves. Pinching back the tips can encourage bushier growth. It is generally a slow-growing succulent that requires minimal pruning.

Prune in spring or early summer.

Propagate from stem cuttings or leaves. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots usually form within a few weeks. This method is most successful in spring and summer.

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