Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, then allow it to dry out before watering again. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant season to prevent root rot.

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

Pruning is generally minimal and primarily done to remove dead or damaged stems and to manage the plant's size or shape if it becomes unruly. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to encourage bushier growth.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring after a period of cold stratification, or from stem cuttings taken during the growing season. Cuttings root readily in well-draining potting mix, and seeds require patience and suitable conditions to germinate.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.
