Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months, but avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Light pruning can be done anytime. For more significant shaping, prune in early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Cut a healthy stem about 10-15 cm long, remove lower leaves, and let the cutting callus for a day or two.

Plant in well-draining potting mix and keep moist until rooted.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring, just as new growth begins, to minimize transplant shock.
