Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months when the plant's growth slows.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, especially for container-grown specimens.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming and prevent seed formation.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid location with bright, indirect light until roots form.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for cacti and succulents.

Repot in spring.
