Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry to the touch. Allow soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency in winter when growth slows.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems. Pinching back the tips of young plants can promote a more compact and full habit. Avoid heavy pruning.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds germinate best in well-draining soil under warm conditions. Cuttings should be rooted in a moist, well-draining medium.

Both methods are relatively straightforward.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
