Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering slightly during cooler periods.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially for young plants.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done at any time.

More significant pruning, if needed, is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This encourages bushier growth.

Propagate primarily through seeds, which germinate best with consistent warmth and moisture. Cuttings can also be taken, but are generally more challenging to root.

Seeds should be sown in a well-draining seed-starting mix and kept moist.

Repot young plants annually or every two years into a slightly larger container, preferably in spring. Mature plants require less frequent repotting, typically every 3-4 years, or when root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for tropical plants.
