Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but do not allow the plant to dry out completely.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Pinching back young shoots can encourage bushier growth.
Propagation is typically done through seeds, which require stratification before sowing. Cuttings can also be used, but they may be difficult to root.
Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy, mature growth and treated with rooting hormone.
Repot young plants every 1-2 years, and mature plants every 3-4 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in early spring before the active growing season commences.
