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 frequency during the dormant winter months.

Ensure good drainage to prevent moisture buildup.

Prune to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done anytime. For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Keep the cuttings moist and provide bottom heat for best results.

Rooting can take several weeks.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Repotting is best done in early spring before new growth starts.
