Water consistently, especially when young and during dry periods. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.

Prune to control size and shape, and to remove dead or damaged stems. Can be pruned hard to rejuvenate an old plant. Best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or autumn. Can also be grown from seed, though germination may be erratic. Layering is another effective method.

Young plants may need repotting annually into a slightly larger container. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
