Does not require regular feeding, however, you can fertilizer with a cactus fertilizer once a year to keep it looking it's best.
Repot your cactus during the warm season. Take out the plant when the soil is completely dried out. Place the cactus in a new planter and fill it up with a succulent soil mix, spreading the roots out. Let your plant dry out and recover for a couple of days. After some time, you can begin with watering gradually and placing it in a sunny spot.
Cleaning should be minimal, remove any decaying parts as needed.
To propagate, remove one of the pads from the cactus and set it aside for 24 - 48 hours allowing the base to callous. Pot the pad in a container filled with a well-draining potting mix and place it in a location that receives a few hours of direct sunlight each day. Wait to water the new plant until a few weeks have passed to ensure that roots have begun to sprout.
