Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Allow excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy, providing only enough to prevent shriveling.
Prune to remove dead or damaged leaves. You can also prune to maintain shape or propagate. Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors. Allow cuts to callus over before watering to prevent infection.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to dry and callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots will form within a few weeks, after which you can water lightly.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring.
