Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid soggy conditions which can harm the roots.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

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.

Propagation is typically done through seeds, which require specific stratification and germination conditions. Cuttings are also possible but can be more challenging.

Success rates are higher when using fresh seeds and maintaining optimal warmth and humidity.

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 to avoid overwatering.

Spring is the ideal time to repot to allow recovery before the peak growing season.
