Water generously when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings.

Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Encourage bushier growth by pinching back tips.

Propagate from seeds, which require scarification or soaking to improve germination. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but are generally more challenging to root successfully.

Ensure clean tools and appropriate rooting medium.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.

Handle roots gently.
