Water Parolinia intermedia thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain away completely to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months and periods of dormancy to avoid over-saturation.

Prune Parolinia intermedia to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems as needed, ideally after flowering.

Light pruning can also be done to improve air circulation within the plant's canopy.

Propagate Parolinia intermedia from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining, moist potting mix.

Cover with a plastic bag or propagator to maintain humidity.

Repot Parolinia intermedia every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, typically a blend for succulents or cacti, to ensure good aeration and drainage.
