Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler months or when the plant is dormant.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or faded flower spikes to promote continuous blooming.

Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to rejuvenate the plant and remove any winter damage.

Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots, cut them to about 10-15 cm, remove lower leaves, and insert into moist, well-draining potting mix.

Rooting typically occurs within 3-4 weeks in warm conditions.

Repot every 1-2 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix, amended with compost.

Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
