Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but avoid prolonged drought. Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormancy period.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This species can become leggy, so selective pruning can help maintain a more compact and attractive shape.

Propagation is typically done through stem cuttings taken in spring. Allow the cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in a well-draining medium. Rooting can be slow, so patience is required.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, with added perlite.
