Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Pinch back tips to promote branching and a fuller appearance.
Easily propagated from stem or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Keep moist until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot only slightly larger than the previous one. Spring is the best time for repotting.
