Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture accumulation around the roots.

Prune to remove dead, damaged, or overcrowded leaves. You can also prune to shape the plant or control its size. Use clean, sharp pruning tools. Pruning is generally minimal, as the plant has an attractive natural form.

Remove any aerial roots that become unsightly or problematic.

Propagated by offshoots or suckers that develop at the base of the plant. Carefully detach these with a sharp knife and allow them to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Rooting can take several weeks to months.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, or add perlite to regular potting soil. Repot in spring for best results.
