Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, then allow it to dry out again. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.

Handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging the delicate teeth on the leaves. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a diluted succulent fertilizer. Protect from frost and excessive moisture, which can cause rot.
