  • Pruning this plant is not necessary, as the leaves do not fall off easily and the plant has a compact growth habit. If needed, dead or damaged leaves can be removed with a sharp pair of scissors or knife. It is important to wear gloves when pruning, due to the sharp thorns on the leaves.

    Water the plant regularly, keeping the soil lightly moist. Make sure the plant doesn't suffer from dry roots, but also avoid letting the roots stay too wet for too long. Give less water in the winter compared to the summer.

    The plant thrives well in well-draining potting soil. Use a mixture of potting soil and coarse sand to promote optimal growth. Make sure the pot has enough drainage holes to prevent the roots from becoming too wet.
