Water thoroughly when the top 5-10 cm of soil is dry. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency in winter.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged branches. Heavy pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which can be challenging to germinate. Cuttings are also possible but require specific conditions. Patience is key, and success rates can vary.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-5 years. Use a well-draining potting mix and a slightly larger pot.
