Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely parched.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this species dislikes waterlogged conditions.

Prune annually in late winter or early spring to shape the plant, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth. Pruning can also be done lightly after flowering to maintain size and form.

Avoid heavy pruning, which can stress the plant.

Propagate by seeds sown in spring or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium in a warm environment. Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-4 years, or when root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix, and a pot with drainage holes.
