Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is detrimental, leading to root rot. In winter, reduce watering significantly as the plant enters dormancy.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds require warm temperatures and consistent moisture for germination.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium in a warm environment.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

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