Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot. In winter, reduce watering significantly to mimic dormancy.

Ensure pots have excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged foliage. Pinching back stem tips in spring encourages bushier growth. Remove flower stalks after blooming to direct energy back into the plant's foliage and roots.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or early summer. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Roots will form quickly in warm, bright conditions.

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