Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot, especially during its dormant period in summer. Reduce watering significantly in winter.

Pruning is generally not necessary for Gibbaeum dispar. Remove any dead or dried-out leaves at the base of the plant to maintain tidiness and prevent potential rot. The plant naturally maintains a compact form.

Propagate by stem cuttings or offsets. Take cuttings from healthy mature plants during the growing season. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in a well-draining succulent mix.

Offsets can be carefully detached and potted individually.

Repot only when the plant is severely root-bound, typically every 2-3 years. Use a shallow pot with excellent drainage. A gritty, fast-draining succulent or cactus mix is ideal.

Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
