Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. In winter, reduce watering significantly to mimic its dormant period.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems. Pruning can be done anytime during the growing season. Use clean, sharp shears to make precise cuts just above a leaf node.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots typically form within a few weeks.

Can also be propagated from seed, but cuttings are more reliable for true-to-type plants.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
