Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot.

Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil are dry, but ensure excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.

Pruning is generally not required for Crassothonna cylindrica, as it maintains a compact growth habit. If leggy growth occurs or to shape the plant, prune in spring or early summer.

Use clean, sharp tools to make cuts just above a leaf node.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots typically form within a few weeks.

Can also be propagated from seed, but cuttings are more reliable and faster.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with drainage holes and use a gritty, fast-draining potting mix.

Spring is the ideal time for repotting to allow the plant to establish in its new container.
