Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. Water thoroughly when you do water, ensuring excess drains away.

Reduce watering significantly in winter to mimic its natural dormancy period.

Prune to remove spent flower stalks or any dead or damaged foliage. You can also prune to control size and shape, though this is rarely necessary. Cuttings can be used for propagation.

Pruning is best done after flowering to encourage new growth.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Water sparingly and place in bright, indirect light.

Roots typically form within a few weeks.

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

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