Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during the winter dormancy period to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune in spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or leggy stems. This encourages bushier growth and can help maintain a desired size. Use clean, sharp shears to make precise cuts just above a leaf node.

Pruning also helps prevent overcrowding.

Propagate by stem cuttings. Take 5-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems in spring or summer. Allow the cut end to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining potting mix.

Roots typically form within 3-4 weeks in warm conditions.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

This helps prevent overwatering and encourages healthy root development.
