Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months, but do not allow the plant to dry out completely.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in potted specimens.

Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier shaping is best performed in spring before the main growth flush.

Remove any suckers that appear from the base.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix in a warm environment with high humidity.

Seeds can also be sown, but cuttings often establish faster and more reliably.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring to provide fresh soil and adequate space for root growth. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, when root-bound.

Use a well-draining, general-purpose potting mix.
