Water thoroughly when the top 5-10 cm of soil is dry, particularly during establishment and dry periods. Avoid waterlogging, as this species is susceptible to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly in cooler months to mimic its native dry summer conditions.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flower stems and any dead or crossing branches.

Light tip-pruning can be done anytime to encourage a more compact form, but avoid heavy pruning into old wood.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Use a rooting hormone and a well-draining potting mix.

Maintain high humidity and consistent moisture until roots form, which can take several weeks to months.

Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining, gritty potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.
