Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent moisture buildup around the roots.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent moisture buildup around the roots.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. This encourages bushier growth.
Propagation is typically done from seeds or stem cuttings. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining medium and kept moist and warm.
Cuttings should be taken from healthy stems, treated with rooting hormone, and planted in a suitable substrate until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound, usually in spring. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, with adequate drainage holes.
Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure proper aeration for the roots.
