Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely parched.

Avoid waterlogging, as this 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 plant health and shape.

Light pruning can be done throughout the year to manage size and encourage bushier growth.

Propagation is typically done from seed, which requires specific stratification treatments.

Alternatively, cuttings can be taken from healthy stems in spring or summer, treated with rooting hormone, and planted in a well-draining medium. Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-5 years, when root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix, and select a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
