Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, but do not let the plant dry out completely.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers. Overwatering is a common issue.

Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or damaged branches, and to encourage bushier growth. This can be done anytime, but is best in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Avoid heavy pruning, which can stress the plant.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which require soaking before sowing. Cuttings are also possible but can be challenging to root. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and keep moist and warm.

Germination can be slow.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring, moving to a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, only when root-bound.

Ensure adequate drainage holes in the pot.
