Water
Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Allow excess water to drain away. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.
Overwatering can lead to root rot, so err on the side of caution, especially in cooler months.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Allow excess water to drain away. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.
Overwatering can lead to root rot, so err on the side of caution, especially in cooler months.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves or stems. You can also prune to encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp tools. Pruning can be done at any time, but it's best after flowering.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Roots typically form within a few weeks. Can also be propagated by offsets.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot with drainage holes. Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
