Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Allow soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months.

Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent waterlogging.

Prune in spring to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back new growth to encourage bushiness and prevent leggy stems. This helps maintain a compact and attractive form.

Propagate from seed sown in spring or autumn. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist, well-draining soil or a sandy medium.

Provide bottom heat for faster rooting.

Repot young plants annually in spring, moving to a slightly larger pot. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, to ensure adequate aeration and drainage.
