Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. Reduce watering significantly in winter dormancy.

Ensure pots have excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially during cooler months.

Minimal pruning is typically required. Remove any dead or dried leaves to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent potential disease. If the plant becomes leggy, you can prune it back to encourage bushier growth.

This also helps maintain its compact form.

Easily propagated from offsets (pups) that form at the base of the mother plant or from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Offsets can be gently separated and planted individually.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant outgrows its current container. Use a gritty, well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti.

Repot in spring, before active growth begins, to give the roots time to establish.
