Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods and when the plant is establishing. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring thorough saturation of the root zone.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the plant's shape and encourage vigorous growth.

Pruning can also be used to control size and improve air circulation within the canopy.

Easily propagated from softwood cuttings taken in early summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots, make a clean cut below a node, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.

Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep moist in a warm, humid environment.

Repot young plants annually in spring into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
