Pruning is generally not required for Titanopsis primosii. Remove any dead or damaged leaves promptly to maintain plant health and appearance. Avoid excessive trimming, as it can stress the plant.
Titanopsis primosii is typically propagated by seed. Sow seeds in a well-draining succulent mix and keep them lightly moist.
It can also be propagated by division, carefully separating offsets and allowing them to callus before planting.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant outgrows its current container. Use a gritty, well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Repot in spring or early summer, before the active growing season begins.
