Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the plant's shape and health.

Light pruning can also be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth and a more attractive form.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment.

Rooting typically takes several weeks to a few months.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years as needed. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one with ample drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for shrubs and trees to promote healthy root development.
