Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of rot. In winter, reduce watering significantly, as the plant enters dormancy.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged leaves, or to propagate. Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors.

Pruning can be done at any time of year, but is best done in spring or early summer when the plant is actively growing.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots will form within a few weeks. Water sparingly until established.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents. Repot in spring, when the plant is actively growing, to allow for quick establishment.
