Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, especially in containers.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done at any time of year.

For significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagate from seed, which requires stratification and consistent warmth. Stem cuttings can also be taken, typically in spring or summer.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and planted in a well-draining medium, keeping it consistently moist.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Spring is the ideal time for repotting, before the active growing season commences.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
