Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from completely drying out.
Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from completely drying out.
Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done in spring before new growth begins. Heavier pruning is best done after flowering, if the plant flowers.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a warm, humid environment.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of loam, sand, and peat moss. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
