Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, typically once every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.

Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the soil to dry out between infrequent waterings to prevent root rot. Overwatering is the most common cause of failure.

Prune in early spring to remove any winter damage and to shape the plant. Trim back leggy or overgrown stems to encourage bushier growth.

Deadhead spent flower stalks as needed to maintain a tidy appearance, though flowers can add winter interest.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or summer and allow them to callous for a day or two before inserting into well-draining soil.

Roots will form quickly, and new plants can be established within a few weeks.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix specifically for succulents. Repot in spring before active growth begins.

Choose a pot with drainage holes and select one that is only slightly larger than the current root ball.
