Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch, typically every 5-7 days depending on environmental conditions. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater if possible, as Goeppertia makoyana can be sensitive to chemicals like chlorine and fluoride found in tap water. Reduce watering frequency slightly during winter dormancy.

Pruning is generally minimal for the Peacock Plant. Focus on removing any yellowing, browning, or dead leaves as they appear. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruners to make cuts close to the base of the stem. This helps maintain the plant's tidy appearance, encourages new growth, and directs the plant's energy towards healthy foliage. Regular inspection for damaged leaves is beneficial.

Propagate Goeppertia makoyana primarily through division during repotting in spring. Carefully remove the plant from its pot and gently separate the rhizomes, ensuring each section has roots and at least a few leaves. Plant the divisions into separate pots with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide high humidity to encourage successful rooting and new growth.

Repot your Peacock Plant every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot that is only one size larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Gently remove the plant, loosen any circling roots, and place it in the new pot, filling with fresh soil. Water thoroughly after repotting to settle the soil.
