Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. In warmer months, increase watering frequency.

Reduce watering significantly during winter months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to prevent waterlogging.

Prune to maintain shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Trim back leggy stems in spring or early summer. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

This helps the plant conserve energy and promotes a more aesthetically pleasing form. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist potting mix or water. Keep in a warm, bright location. Roots usually form within a few weeks.

Once established, transplant into its own pot.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Spring is the ideal time for repotting, allowing the plant to establish itself before the peak growing season.
