Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, especially for this drought-tolerant species.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flower stalks and any dead or leggy stems. Light annual pruning is usually sufficient to keep the plant tidy and productive.

Easily propagated from seed sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds benefit from a period of cold stratification. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium in a warm environment.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, with added perlite or grit.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one.
