Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months to avoid waterlogging.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months to avoid waterlogging.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune lightly to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. This can be done after flowering or in late winter before new growth begins. Pinching back the tips of young stems can encourage bushier growth.
Avoid heavy pruning.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil moist and provide a warm, humid environment.
Rooting may take several weeks to a few months.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.
Repotting provides fresh nutrients and space for root growth.
