Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler, dormant periods. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler, dormant periods. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, or to remove dead, damaged, or leggy growth. Use clean, sharp shears. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth. Best performed in spring before new growth emerges.
Propagate primarily through stem cuttings. Take cuttings of about 10-15 cm from healthy stems, remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Plant in well-draining potting mix and keep moist until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
