Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering is detrimental, leading to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during cooler months to mimic its natural dormancy period.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, which this succulent strongly dislikes.

Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged stems. Use clean, sharp tools. Pruning can also encourage branching. Remove spent flower stalks to promote further blooming.

This plant tolerates heavier pruning if needed to control size.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Alternatively, propagate from seed, though this is slower.

Cuttings root readily in spring and summer.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one.
