Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering during the dormant period in summer or winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to mimic its natural arid conditions.

Prune to maintain shape and remove spent flower stalks. Cut back leggy growth to encourage bushier development. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves promptly.

Pruning can also be done to rejuvenate plants that have become leggy or overcrowded.

Propagate by division of the tubers during the dormant season or by seed sown in spring. Divisions should be planted shallowly in well-draining soil. Seeds require light for germination and should be kept moist.

Repot every 1-2 years in spring or autumn, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the previous one to accommodate root growth.
