Water
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months to prevent overhydration.
Ensure good drainage to maintain healthy roots.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months to prevent overhydration.
Ensure good drainage to maintain healthy roots.
Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or crossing branches, and maintain a desirable size. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
This encourages bushier growth.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seed sown in spring. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and planted in a well-draining medium.
Seeds may require stratification before sowing for best germination rates.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring as needed, when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one with good drainage.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite.
