Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow soil to dry out between waterings, especially during dormancy. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly in winter months to mimic natural dry periods.

Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow soil to dry out between waterings, especially during dormancy. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly in winter months to mimic natural dry periods.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Thin out dense clumps to improve air circulation and shape.
This encourages vigorous new growth and maintains a tidy appearance.
Propagate by division in early spring. Carefully dig up the clump and separate it into smaller sections, ensuring each section has roots and at least one growth bud. Replant immediately in well-draining soil.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in early spring. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Repotting refreshes the soil and prevents the plant from becoming root-bound.
