Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent fungal diseases.

Check the soil moisture by poking a finger an inch or two deep.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, or to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning can be done at any time, but it's best to do it in spring or early summer after flowering.

Use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts just above a leaf node.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil slightly moist and place in bright, indirect light.

Roots typically form within a few weeks.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
