Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which this plant dislikes.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems. This plant generally does not require heavy pruning.

Removing spent blooms can encourage further flowering or prevent unnecessary seed production.

Propagate from seed sown in spring or by division of clumps in early spring. Seeds may require stratification. Divisions should be repotted promptly and kept slightly moist until established.

This method ensures genetic consistency.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, only when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.

Fresh soil invigorates the plant.
