Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically every 7-14 days during the growing season.

Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems to improve air circulation and plant health.

Heavy pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm until roots form, usually within a few weeks.

Seeds can also be sown in spring.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Repot in spring before the active growing season commences.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
