Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly until it drains from the pot's base. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so err on the side of caution.
Reduce watering significantly during the cooler, dormant winter months.
Prune in spring to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Pinching back the tips of new growth will also promote a more compact and attractive form for this succulent.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. New plants will develop roots within a few weeks, especially in warm conditions.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.
