Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cooler conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch.

Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune annually in early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing stems to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

Pinch back the tips of young shoots to promote branching and a more compact habit. This also prevents the plant from becoming leggy.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Select healthy, non-flowering stems about 7-10 cm long. Remove the lower leaves and insert the cut end into a well-draining potting mix.

Keep moist and in bright, indirect light until roots form.

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

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix, to ensure good aeration and prevent waterlogging. Fresh soil revitalizes the plant.
