Water
Water moderately, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging, as this species is sensitive to overly wet conditions.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging, as this species is sensitive to overly wet conditions.
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. This species responds well to selective pruning to encourage bushier growth.
Avoid heavy pruning, as it may take a long time to recover.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, sterile potting mix.
Maintain high humidity and warmth for successful rooting, which can take several weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
Water thoroughly after repotting.
