Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler winter months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings to prevent root rot.

Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth.

Light pruning can be done year-round, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Pinch back young stems to promote branching.

Easily propagated from seeds sown fresh, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds germinate best with consistent warmth and moisture.

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

Repot young plants annually or as needed when root-bound, typically in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
