Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, allowing excess water to drain. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Remove dead or damaged leaves and spent flower stalks. Pruning is minimal and mainly for aesthetic purposes to maintain a tidy appearance.
Easily propagated from offsets (pups) that grow from the base of the mother plant. Separate pups when they are about one-third the size of the parent.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid waterlogging.
