Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, usually every 2-4 weeks in the growing season. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Prune in spring to remove dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth. This helps maintain the plant's shape and vigor.
Spent flower stalks should also be trimmed off after blooming.
Easily propagated from stem or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots typically form within a few weeks. This is an effective way to create new plants.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for succulents. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogged soil.
Water lightly after repotting.
