Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is detrimental and can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, ensuring good drainage.
Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormant period.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Pruning can be done at any time, but it's best to do it in spring before active growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.
Can also be propagated from seed, though this is slower.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one.
Repot in spring for best results and to minimize transplant shock.
