Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely. Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormancy period to prevent root rot.

Overwatering is a common mistake, so err on the side of caution.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Use a sharp, clean knife or shears. Pruning can also encourage branching and a bushier growth habit.

Remove spent flowers to promote further blooming.

Propagate by stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil lightly moist and provide bright, indirect light.

Roots typically form within a few weeks.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
