Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging. In hotter, drier periods, increase watering frequency.

Avoid overwatering, especially during cooler months, to prevent root rot. Consistent moisture is key for healthy growth.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins.

This helps to invigorate the plant.

Propagate by seeds sown in spring or by stem cuttings taken in late spring or summer. Seeds can be sown directly into well-draining soil. Cuttings should be rooted in a moist, well-draining medium.

Both methods generally have good success rates.

Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.

This provides fresh nutrients and space for root growth.
