Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, especially during cooler months, as this can lead to root rot.

Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture accumulation.

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

Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagate from seeds or semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining seed-starting mix and kept moist.

Cuttings can be rooted in a similar medium, often requiring bottom heat and high humidity.

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