Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune lightly to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Propagate from seeds, which require scarification or soaking before sowing. Stem cuttings can also be taken from mature plants, treated with rooting hormone, and planted in well-draining soil.

Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one to allow for root expansion.
