Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Avoid overwatering, as this succulent prefers drier conditions and is susceptible to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to mimic its natural arid habitat.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems to improve air circulation and overall plant health.

This also prevents the plant from becoming leggy and unkempt.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring under glass, but cuttings are generally faster and more reliable.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repot in spring before active growth begins to minimize transplant shock.
