Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-4 weeks in the growing season and much less in winter. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during dormancy to mimic its arid native habitat.

Pruning is generally minimal, focused on removing any dead or damaged stems. If you wish to control its size or shape, prune in spring before active growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools to make cuts just above a node.

Propagation is typically done by stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil mix.

Roots usually form within a few weeks in warm conditions with bright, indirect light.

Repot your Xerosicyos danguyi every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, with drainage holes.

Use a gritty, fast-draining potting mix, similar to that for succulents.
