Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of rot. Water thoroughly when the plant is thirsty, ensuring good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged leaves, and encourage bushier growth. Cut stems back to just above a leaf node. This can be done anytime the plant needs tidying, but is best done in spring.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaves. Allow cuttings or leaves to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots typically form within a few weeks, especially in warm conditions.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.
