Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best carried out in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seed sown in autumn. Cuttings should be placed in a well-draining potting mix and kept moist and warm. Seed germination may be erratic and can take time.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in early spring before the active growing season begins.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
