Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent waterlogging and root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid soggy conditions, especially for young plants.

Prune to maintain shape and size, typically after flowering. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches to improve air circulation and plant health. Light pruning can encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, which can stress the plant.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring after a period of cold stratification, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification to aid germination.

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

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues and encourage healthy root development.
