Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings. Ensure good drainage.

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 in cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings. Ensure good drainage.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone to encourage faster root development. Plant cuttings in a well-draining potting mix and keep them consistently moist and warm.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a fresh, well-draining potting mix to provide new nutrients.
