Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months of winter.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months of winter.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back the tips of stems to promote branching. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves as they appear.
Pruning can be done anytime, but is most effective in spring before new growth begins.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 5-10 cm cuttings with at least two nodes. Remove lower leaves and insert the cut end into moist potting mix or water.
Roots typically form within a few weeks, after which they can be planted in soil.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
Repot in spring for best results and to minimize transplant shock.
