Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged foliage. Light pruning can be done anytime. For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix. Maintain warmth and humidity to encourage root development.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring, just as new growth is emerging.
