Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Dischidia ruscifolia prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler winter months to prevent waterlogged soil.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Trim back leggy stems just above a leaf node. Remove any dead, damaged, or yellowing leaves or stems promptly.

Pruning can be done anytime but is most effective in spring.

Propagate by stem cuttings. Take cuttings of 10-15 cm length, ensuring each has at least two nodes. Remove the lower leaves and plant the cut end directly into moist potting mix or suspend in water.

Roots typically form within a few weeks.

Repot 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 good aeration and prevent waterlogging.
