Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. In its natural habitat, it experiences dry periods, so it is quite drought-tolerant.

Reduce watering significantly in winter.

Pruning is minimal. Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems to maintain a more compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged foliage as needed.

Pruning can be done in spring before active growth begins.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or summer, allow them to callus for a few days, and then plant them in well-draining soil.

Water sparingly until roots have formed, which typically occurs within a few weeks.

Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a gritty, fast-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring.
