Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry. Allow soil to dry out between waterings, especially during winter dormancy. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems. This helps to keep the plant compact and promote more blooms.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Allow cuttings to callus for a day or two before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
