Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically during the active growing season (spring and summer). Reduce watering significantly in fall and winter to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which this plant dislikes.

Pruning is generally minimal and focused on removing dead or damaged stems. If the plant becomes leggy, it can be pruned back to encourage bushier growth. Pruning is best done in spring before new growth begins.

Propagation is typically done from seeds or stem cuttings. Seeds require warmth and consistent moisture to germinate.

Cuttings should be taken during the growing season, allowed to callus, and then planted in well-draining soil.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants less frequently, in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball.
