Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly when dry, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormancy period to mimic its natural arid habitat.

Pruning is generally not required for Tulista minor. Remove any dead or dried leaves at the base of the plant to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent potential pest issues. Avoid cutting healthy plant tissue.

Propagation is best achieved through offsets or bulbils, which are small plantlets that form at the base. Carefully detach mature offsets with roots and allow them to callous for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound, typically every 2-3 years. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents or cacti.

Repotting is best done in spring before the active growth period begins.
