Water
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. In winter, reduce watering significantly to mimic a dormant period, only providing enough to prevent extreme wilting.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. In winter, reduce watering significantly to mimic a dormant period, only providing enough to prevent extreme wilting.
Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or leggy growth, and encourage bushier development. Use clean, sharp shears.
Pruning can be done anytime during the growing season, but is most effective in spring as new growth begins.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings of 5-10 cm, allow them to callus for a few days, and then plant them in well-draining soil. Roots will typically form within a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix.
Repotting is best done in spring, just as the growing season begins, to allow the plant to establish quickly.
