Water
Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, 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 promote airflow. Light pruning can encourage bushier growth.
Propagate primarily through stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
