Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler months, but avoid letting the soil become completely dry.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth and can help manage plant size. Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the plant.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a warm, humid environment until established.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting provides fresh nutrients and space for root development, crucial for healthy growth.
