Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months when the plant's growth slows down.

Ensure good drainage to prevent issues.

Prune lightly to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. This can be done in spring before new growth emerges or after flowering. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering and fruiting potential.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a warm, humid environment until established.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring, moving them to a slightly larger container. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting provides fresh nutrients and space for root growth.
