Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to mimic dormancy.
Safety note: This plant may be toxic to humans and pets. See toxicity details.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to mimic dormancy.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and improve air circulation. Wear protective gear as sap can be irritating.
Propagate from cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth to encourage root development.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
