Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, especially during cooler months, to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to maintain healthy root systems.

Reduce watering frequency in winter.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Wear gloves as the sap can be irritating.

Propagate by seed sown in spring or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification or stratification.

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

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a mix of peat, sand, and loam. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball.
