Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape or remove dead or damaged stems. Pinching back leggy growth can encourage a bushier habit. Pruning is best done in spring or early summer.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Seeds can also be sown in spring.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a pot with drainage holes and fresh, well-draining soil. Repotting is best done in spring.
