Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during the cooler, dormant months, but never allow the soil to dry out completely.
Prune to maintain shape and size, or to remove any dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done anytime, while more significant pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth to encourage root development.
Repot young plants annually or when root-bound, typically in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture.
