Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering during cooler months or when the plant is dormant.

Overwatering can be detrimental, so err on the side of caution, especially for young plants.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to maintain a desired size and form.

Heavy pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This encourages bushier growth.

Propagation is typically done from seeds or cuttings. Sow seeds in well-draining soil in spring. For cuttings, take semi-hardwood cuttings in summer and root them in moist, sandy soil.

Success rates can vary, so patience is key.

Repot young plants every one to two years, and mature plants every three to four years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before new growth starts.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging.
