Water consistently to maintain moist soil, especially during the growing season. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter but do not let the plant dry out completely.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to maintain moist soil, especially during the growing season. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter but do not let the plant dry out completely.
Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring, or take semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium in a warm environment.
Repot young plants annually or bi-annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball.
