Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.

Pruning is generally not necessary unless you need to manage size or remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches. If pruning is required, do so in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This promotes a bushier plant and can improve air circulation.

Propagate primarily from seeds sown indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Seeds require light to germinate and should be kept consistently moist and warm.

Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer.

Repot young plants annually or when they become root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one, with ample drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Mature plants may not need frequent repotting.
