Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during active growth. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.
Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during active growth. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.
Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Prune to shape the tree and encourage bushier growth, or to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning can be done after flowering to promote new growth and flower production in the following season.
Use clean, sharp secateurs.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil moist and humid, and place in a warm location with bright, indirect light.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring to replenish the soil and provide more space for root growth. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-5 years.
Use a good quality, well-draining potting mix.
