Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent waterlogged soil and root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid issues.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth.

Pruning can also be done to maintain desired shape and size, and to promote flowering.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seed sown in spring. Cuttings root best in well-draining soil with bottom heat. Seeds may require scarification or stratification.

Both methods yield new plants for cultivation.

Repot young plants annually, or every two years, in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one with ample drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure healthy root development.
