Water
Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically once every 1-2 weeks during the growing season. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically once every 1-2 weeks during the growing season. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
Reduce watering significantly in winter to mimic its dormant period.
Prune in spring or early summer to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Pinching back the tips of stems will promote branching and a fuller plant.
Clean cuts help prevent disease.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or summer and allow them to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents or cacti. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring.
