Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months but avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth.

Light pruning can be done any time of year, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove suckers from the base.

Best propagated from seeds, which require stratification. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before sowing in a well-draining mix. Maintain consistent moisture and warmth.

Cuttings are less common and can be difficult to root.

Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, preferably in spring. Use a slightly larger pot with a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent root rot.
