Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during cooler months when growth slows.

Ensure good drainage in pots to prevent excess moisture accumulation.

Prune lightly in spring to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This also helps to promote flowering and fruit production.

Avoid heavy pruning which can stress the plant.

Propagate primarily through seeds, which should be sown in well-draining compost in a warm environment. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in late summer.

Rooting may be slow and requires consistent warmth and moisture.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, sand, and loam.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive soil moisture.
