Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to prevent overwatering.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Trim back leggy or overgrown stems to maintain a desirable shape and encourage bushier growth.
Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased stems at any time of year to promote plant health.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a sharp, sterile knife to cut a 10-15 cm tip cutting. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix.
Keep consistently moist and warm until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.
Repotting is best done in spring.
