Water: A Grim One thrives in arid conditions, exhibiting high drought tolerance with low humidity. It requires minimal watering, approximately once every three weeks. When grown indoors, ensure soil has good drainage to prevent root rot, a common issue with overwatered succulents.

Fertilize: For a Grim One, use a balanced succulent fertilizer monthly during the growing season (spring to early fall) at quarter to half strength. Avoid winter application. Fertilize on moist soil to prevent root burn, and adjust based on a Grim One's specific needs to prevent over-fertilization.

Pruning: To maintain a beautiful shape, large succulent plants like a Grim One require pruning in spring and fall, removing dense branches. Propagate a Grim One by cutting a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, treating the wound with sulfur powder, and planting once healed, keeping the soil slightly moist.

Propagation: Succulents can be propagated using seeds or leaf cuttings, with the latter being more common, especially in spring and fall. Cut a healthy leaf, place it on slightly humid soil, and ensure a temperature of 25℃ (77℉) and bright, scattered light for successful rooting within one to two weeks.

Repotting: Repot a Grim One every 2 years in spring, using a slightly larger pot to promote health without excess moisture. After repotting, provide bright, indirect light and minimal water for a week to prevent root rot and support recovery.
