Water thoroughly when the soil surface feels dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the dormant season.

Avoid waterlogging, as this plant prefers well-drained conditions and can be susceptible to root rot.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and size. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can encourage denser growth. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood, as it may not regrow.

Propagation is best done by sowing seeds in spring. Seeds may benefit from scarification or a period of cold stratification to improve germination rates. Cuttings can be attempted but are often less successful.

Repot only when necessary, typically when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repot in spring before new growth begins to minimize transplant shock.
