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

Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Pruning is generally minimal for Dorstenia arifolia. Remove any dead, damaged, or yellowing leaves as needed to maintain a tidy appearance.

You can pinch back stems occasionally to encourage bushier growth, but severe pruning is rarely necessary.

Propagation is typically done by stem cuttings or by dividing the plant. Cuttings can be taken in spring or summer and allowed to callous before planting in well-draining soil.

Division is best done during repotting in spring.

Repot Dorstenia arifolia every two to three years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Repotting is best done in the spring before the active growing season begins.
