Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormancy period.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, which are detrimental to this succulent.

Prune in spring or early summer to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Pruning can also be done to propagate new plants from cuttings.

Use clean, sharp tools for precise cuts.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots form, typically within a few weeks.

Success is highest during the active growing season.

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

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
