Water sparingly once the soil has dried out completely. This plant is drought-tolerant and prefers to be on the drier side.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage and allow the soil to dry between waterings, especially during its dormant period in winter.

Prune after flowering to manage size and shape, and to prevent unwanted self-seeding. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage further blooming or to prevent the plant from setting seed if spread is undesirable.

Cut back dead or damaged foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.

Propagate primarily by seed. Sow seeds in spring or autumn in well-draining soil. Scarification or a period of cold stratification may improve germination rates.

It can also be propagated by division of established clumps in spring, but this is less common and can be challenging.

Repot established plants only when they are severely pot-bound. This is typically not a frequent requirement as the plant prefers to be slightly snug.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, and a pot with drainage holes. Repot in early spring before active growth begins.
