Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Crassothonna cacalioides is drought-tolerant and prone to root rot if overwatered. Water thoroughly when dry, ensuring excess water drains away.

Reduce watering significantly during cooler months when the plant is less active.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems.

Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best performed in spring before the main growing season begins to promote new shoots.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Water lightly and keep in bright, indirect light. Roots typically form within a few weeks.

Can also be propagated from seed.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring, before the active growing season commences.
