Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent complete desiccation.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth.

Remove spent flower stalks to promote further blooming and prevent seed production if desired.

Propagation is best done by seed sown in spring or by division of established clumps. Seeds can be sown in a well-draining seed-starting mix.

Divisions should be replanted promptly to minimize stress and encourage establishment.

Repot young plants annually in spring as they outgrow their containers. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, to prevent waterlogging.
