Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during the dormant season. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot.
Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, ensuring excess water can drain away to prevent waterlogging.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during the dormant season. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot.
Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, ensuring excess water can drain away to prevent waterlogging.
Prune to maintain shape or remove dead or leggy growth. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage more blooms or a tidier appearance. Pruning can also be used to propagate new plants from stem cuttings.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Can also be propagated from offsets that form at the base of the parent plant.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one with drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for succulents and cacti.
