Water
Sawtooth sandmat needs to be watered regularly, about once a week, especially during its growing season. Water the plant when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. For indoor plants, maintain moisture even during their resting seasons by adding water from below. This helps prevent overwatering and excess moisture.

To enhance growth and maintain the shape of your sawtooth sandmat, prune it in early spring. Use clean, sharp tools to remove dead stems and trim any overgrown branches, which will help prevent disease. Regular pruning also improves air circulation, keeping your sawtooth sandmat attractive and healthy all year round.
