Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-4 weeks in the growing season.
Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy, allowing soil to dry out between infrequent waterings to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage.
Prune in spring to remove dead or leggy growth and to maintain shape. Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth. Remove any damaged or diseased leaves promptly. Pruning also helps in propagation.
Easily propagated from plantlets that form along the leaf margins. Gently detach these plantlets and allow them to callus for a day or two before planting in well-draining soil. They root quickly in warm conditions.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
