Water deeply when the soil is dry to the touch, typically every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.

Ensure excellent drainage to mimic its native arid conditions. Avoid waterlogged soil at all costs.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the plant. Remove suckers to prevent unwanted spread.

Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring. Stratification may improve germination rates. Cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer, but rooting can be challenging. Use a well-draining medium.

Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix. This plant prefers to be slightly pot-bound, so avoid oversized pots.
