Water
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during the winter months when the plant is dormant.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during the winter months when the plant is dormant.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth.
Heavy pruning is best avoided unless necessary for rejuvenation, as it can stress the plant. Use clean, sharp tools.
Propagation is typically done by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium, such as perlite and peat moss. Maintain high humidity and warmth to encourage rooting.
Seed propagation is also possible but can be slower.
Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
