Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormancy period. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape or remove dead or damaged stems. Pinching back young stems can encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp tools for pruning.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Can also be grown from seed.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a pot with drainage holes and fresh succulent mix. Repot in spring.
