Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially once the plant is established.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best undertaken in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Ensure cuts are clean.

Propagation is typically done through seeds sown in well-draining potting mix. Germination can be slow and requires consistent moisture and warmth. Cuttings are also possible but can be challenging.

Softwood cuttings taken in spring have the best chance of success.

Repot young plants annually in spring to provide fresh soil and more space. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
