Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the roots from completely drying out.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Prune in early spring before new growth begins to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage further blooming.

This plant generally requires minimal pruning to maintain its natural form.

Propagate from seed sown in spring or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining potting mix in a warm, humid environment.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, and select a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
