Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Prune sparingly to maintain shape and remove any yellowing or dead leaves. Pinch back the tips of stems to encourage bushier growth.
Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make precise cuts just above a leaf node.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take a 5-10 cm cutting with several leaves and root it in water or moist potting mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, bright location. Roots should form within a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years 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 blend, to prevent waterlogging.
