Water Leptadenia arborea thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely, as it is sensitive to overwatering.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months to prevent root rot, providing just enough to keep the soil from drying out completely.

Prune Leptadenia arborea in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

Pruning can also be done to control size and promote flowering by removing spent flower stalks.

Leptadenia arborea can be propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer.

Use a sharp knife to take cuttings about 10-15 cm long, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil moist and warm until roots form.

Repot Leptadenia arborea every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, amended with perlite.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging. Repot in spring.
