Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top centimeter of soil feels dry to the touch.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top centimeter of soil feels dry to the touch.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down.
Prune sparingly to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy growth. Lightly trim in spring as new growth emerges. This encourages bushier growth and can help manage the plant's size.
Avoid heavy pruning unless necessary.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Ensure cuttings have at least two nodes. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep consistently moist and warm until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins to minimize stress.
