Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cooler conditions.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or straggly stems at any time. Avoid heavy pruning, as this plant responds best to minimal intervention.

Pinching back young shoots can promote a more compact habit.

Propagate from seed sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds can be sown in a well-draining compost and kept at a moderate temperature.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and planted in a similar mix.

Repot in spring only when the plant becomes root-bound, typically every two to three years. Use a well-draining compost mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, with added grit.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
