Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months to mimic its natural arid conditions.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage air circulation.

Light pruning can also be done after flowering to manage size.

Propagate primarily through stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting can be slow; provide warmth and bright, indirect light.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
