Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot, especially in its native, drier habitat.

Reduce watering significantly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent soggy conditions. Ensure pots have excellent drainage to mimic its natural well-draining environments.

Pruning is generally minimal for *Brighamia insignis*. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves at their base to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent potential disease.

Pinching back the tip can encourage a bushier growth habit, but this is rarely necessary as it naturally forms a single trunk.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which require stratification and careful germination conditions. Stem cuttings can also be rooted, but success rates can be variable.

Patience is key, as both methods can be slow to yield new plants. Ensure high humidity for cuttings.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a very well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, perhaps with added perlite or pumice. Repot in spring, just as new growth begins.

Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.
