Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows down.

Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture.

Pruning is generally minimal. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and health.

If the plant becomes leggy, you can lightly trim it back to encourage bushier growth, but avoid heavy pruning.

Propagate Dorstenia elata from seed or stem cuttings. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining mix and kept consistently moist and warm.

Cuttings can be taken from healthy stems, allowed to callus for a day, and then planted in a moist, well-draining medium.

Repot Dorstenia elata every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix, to ensure adequate aeration.
