Additional Care Tips
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, then allow to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
Prune to maintain shape, control size, or remove dead or damaged stems. Can be pruned hard to encourage bushier growth or propagate new plants.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings or offsets. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot only slightly larger than the previous one with fresh, well-draining soil.
