Water regularly during the growing season, especially when young and during dry spells. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Reduce watering in autumn and winter, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the plant's shape and health.

Light pruning can be done after flowering to shape the plant, but avoid heavy cuts.

Propagate from seeds sown in autumn outdoors or stratified indoors. Softwood cuttings can be taken in early summer and treated with rooting hormone.

Layering is also an effective method, usually performed in autumn or early spring.

Young plants may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container. Repot in early spring before new growth emerges. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Established plants in the ground typically do not require repotting.
