Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is detrimental and can lead to root rot.

In winter, reduce watering significantly, providing only minimal moisture to prevent desiccation. Ensure well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage denser growth. Remove dead or leggy stems at any time of year. Light pruning after flowering can also help to promote a more compact habit.

Use clean, sharp secateurs to make precise cuts.

Propagate by stem cuttings, typically taken in spring or summer. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before inserting them into a well-draining succulent or sandy mix.

Rooting is usually successful with bottom heat and moderate humidity.

Repot in spring when the plant becomes root-bound or outgrows its container. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, as succulents prefer to be slightly restricted. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.
