Water
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to avoid standing water.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to avoid standing water.
Prune to maintain shape, encourage bushier growth, and remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins.
Aim for an open structure to allow good air circulation.
Propagation is typically done through stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy, semi-hardwood cuttings, dip them in rooting hormone, and plant them in a well-draining, moist potting mix.
Cover with a plastic bag to maintain humidity until roots form.
Repot young plants every 1-2 years, and mature plants every 2-3 years, preferably in spring. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for acid-loving plants. Ensure adequate drainage holes.
