Water Dorstenia benguellensis thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil has dried out. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during cooler, dormant periods in winter, but do not let the soil become bone dry.

Pruning is generally not required for Dorstenia benguellensis. If any parts become leggy or damaged, trim them back to the base of the plant using clean, sharp scissors.

This helps maintain a tidy appearance and encourages bushier growth.

Propagate Dorstenia benguellensis from seed or stem cuttings. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining seed-starting mix and kept lightly moist and warm.

Cuttings can be taken from healthy stems, allowed to callus for a few days, and then planted in a similar mix.

Repot Dorstenia benguellensis every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
