Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.
Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done in spring before new growth begins. Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the plant.
Pinching back young shoots can encourage bushier growth.
Propagation is typically done by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Spring is the ideal time for repotting.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive soil moisture.
