Water regularly once the soil has dried out, particularly during the growing season. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency in winter when the plant is dormant, allowing the soil to dry more thoroughly between waterings.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the plant's shape and vigor.

Light pruning can be done throughout the year to control size and encourage bushier growth.

Propagation is primarily achieved through seeds sown in spring, often requiring a period of cold stratification. Softwood cuttings can also be taken in early summer and rooted under humid conditions with bottom heat.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants every 3-5 years. Repot in spring before active growth commences.

Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
