Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage in the pot to avoid soggy conditions, which this species dislikes.

Prune to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done any time, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth and better fruit production.

Propagated by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone to improve success rates. Plant the cuttings in a well-draining potting mix and keep them consistently moist and warm.

Alternatively, seeds can be used, but germination can be slow and erratic.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
