Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches. You can also prune to shape the plant or control its size.

For berries, prune lightly to encourage flowering and fruiting, but avoid excessive pruning.

Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid to late summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Keep cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment.

Seed propagation is possible but may result in variability. Grafting is also an option.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring. Mature plants typically require repotting less frequently, perhaps every 5 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid waterlogging.
