Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. Water thoroughly when dry, ensuring excess water drains away.

Reduce watering significantly in winter months, as the plant requires much less moisture during its dormant period.

Pruning is minimal and mainly for aesthetic purposes or to remove damaged leaves. Trim away any yellow or dead foliage at the base of the plant.

Due to its slow growth, major pruning is rarely necessary and should be done with sterile tools.

Propagation is best achieved through division of rhizomes or leaf cuttings. For rhizome division, carefully separate sections with roots and at least one shoot during repotting.

Leaf cuttings require patience; insert a healthy leaf into soil and wait for new growth.

Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound, typically every 2-4 years. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
