Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent complete desiccation.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots, which can lead to root rot. Overwatering is a common mistake.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches at any time. Heavy pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.

Regular light trimming will help keep the plant compact and tidy.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them in a warm, humid environment.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring, but germination may be slow and erratic. Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a general-purpose, well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues. Ensure good drainage holes.
