Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in autumn and winter, providing only enough to keep the soil from becoming completely arid.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in poorly drained soils.

Prune after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done throughout the growing season to control size and shape, but avoid heavy pruning in late autumn to prevent winter damage.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep them moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots form, which typically takes several weeks.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, only when root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a sandy loam or cactus mix, to ensure adequate drainage.
