Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, less active growth periods.

Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

This encourages bushier growth.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which may require scarification or stratification to improve germination rates. Cuttings can also be taken from healthy stems in spring or summer.

Ensure cuttings have at least two nodes and use rooting hormone.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and sand.
