Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Allow excess water to drain away completely. Reduce watering frequency during winter months to prevent waterlogged soil, which can lead to root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Use sharp, clean pruning shears to make precise cuts.

Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the plant.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots form.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown, but germination can be slow and erratic.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one, with good drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.
