Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Reduce watering significantly in cooler, dormant periods.

Prune to maintain shape or to remove dead or damaged leaves. Pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushier growth. It's best to prune in spring or early summer. Cuttings can be used for propagation.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots will form within a few weeks. Water sparingly until new growth appears.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
