Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which this plant dislikes.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and promote airflow.

Light pruning can be done anytime to control size, but avoid heavy pruning during the active growth period.

Propagate from seeds, which may require scarification or stratification to break dormancy. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, treated with rooting hormone, and placed in a well-draining medium.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of loam, sand, and compost.

Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one.
