Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in the dormant winter months. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.

Overwatering can be detrimental to this species.

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. This helps maintain a tidy appearance and encourages bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the plant. Deadheading spent flowers can prolong bloom.

Propagate by seed, which may require scarification or stratification to improve germination. Cuttings can also be taken from softwood or semi-hardwood in late spring or early summer.

Ensure cuttings have a node and are planted in a well-draining medium.

Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, or add perlite to a standard potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
