Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage. Reduce watering in winter during the dormant period.
Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Light pruning can be done anytime. Heavier pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
This encourages bushier growth.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings consistently moist and warm.
Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring under glass.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring before new growth starts. Handle roots gently.
