Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this species is susceptible to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent fungal issues.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done in spring to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.
Propagation is typically done by cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, moist medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth to encourage root development.
Repot young plants every 1-2 years, and mature plants every 3-4 years, in early spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball.
