Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is detrimental and can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, ensuring good drainage.

Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning can be done after flowering. To encourage bushier growth, tip prune young stems.

Use clean, sharp tools for precise cuts to minimize stress on the plant.

Propagate primarily through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or early summer and allow them to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting hormone can aid in faster establishment.

Water sparingly until roots form.

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

Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
