Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent complete desiccation.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification or stratification before sowing.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a warm, humid environment until established.

Repot young plants annually or bi-annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging.
