Water
Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogged roots. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in container-grown plants.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogged roots. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in container-grown plants.
Prune in spring to shape the plant, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage bushier growth. Tip pruning can be done throughout the growing season to maintain a desired size and form.
Use clean, sharp secateurs for precise cuts.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, moist medium.
Maintain high humidity and warmth for successful rooting, which typically takes 4-8 weeks.
Repot in spring every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
