Water thoroughly when the top 5-10 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but never allow the soil to dry out completely.

Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, or to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. The best time for pruning is typically in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp pruning shears.

Propagate primarily through seeds, which require stratification. Cuttings can also be taken from mature stems, though they may be more challenging to root.

Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy parent plants and treated with rooting hormone.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring as they become root-bound. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues. Use a well-draining potting mix.
