Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during dormancy. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly in cooler months to mimic its natural arid conditions.
Prune to maintain shape or remove dead or damaged stems. Pruning is generally minimal and best done after flowering or before the active growing season to encourage robust new growth.
Propagate from seed, sowing them in well-draining soil in spring. Stem cuttings can also be taken during the growing season and allowed to callus before planting. Ensure good drainage for success.
Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Repot in spring, before the active growth period begins.
