Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly when dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.

Overwatering is the most common cause of problems.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy stems. This can be done in spring as new growth begins. Pinching back young stems encourages a bushier habit. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

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 grown from leaf cuttings, though this is slower.

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