Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during dormancy. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot for this succulent. Reduce watering significantly in cooler months.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy growth. Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth. Pruning can be done year-round but is best after flowering to shape the plant for the next season.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining succulent mix. Rooting usually occurs within a few weeks. Water sparingly once roots have formed.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining succulent potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring, before active growth begins.
