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

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged foliage, and control size. Trim back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth. Pruning can be done in spring before active growth begins or in early summer.

Easily propagated from stem or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots form, which typically takes several weeks.

This is best done in spring or early summer.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
