Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the tubers from completely drying out.
Avoid waterlogged conditions which can lead to root rot.
Prune back dead or yellowing foliage as needed. After flowering, you can trim back stems to encourage bushier growth.
For plants grown for their tubers, heavy pruning might be done before dormancy to facilitate harvesting and storage.
Propagation is primarily done through tuber division. In spring, carefully divide the tubers, ensuring each piece has at least one viable bud.
Plant the divisions in well-draining soil and water sparingly until new growth appears.
Repot annually or biennially in spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Select a pot that allows ample space for the developing tubers to expand.
