Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. Water thoroughly when dry, ensuring excess water drains away.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems. Pruning can also be done after flowering to tidy up the plant. Use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks in warm conditions.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repotting is best done in spring before new growth begins.
