Prune to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done in spring before new growth emerges. Heavy pruning is best avoided unless necessary for structural improvement.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone to encourage root development and plant in a well-draining medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth for successful rooting.
Repot young plants 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.
