Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom of the pot.
Reduce watering significantly in winter when the plant is dormant, ensuring the soil doesn't become waterlogged.
Prune annually in spring to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Lightly trim back stems to promote denser foliage and prevent the plant from becoming straggly.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and in a warm, bright location until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, to ensure good aeration.
