๐Ÿ“ Expert Advice

๐ŸŒพ Sowing Advice:

Propagation is best by stem cuttings. Allow cut ends to callus before planting in well-draining succulent mix. If sowing from seed, expect slow germination and low germination rates; provide bright light and warmth.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Staking Advice:

No special tutoring required; grow as a trailing specimen with light training if reaching desired shape.

โœ‚๏ธ Pruning:

Prune back leggy growth in spring to maintain a bushy habit; trim tips to encourage branching and a fuller trailing appearance.
