Water
Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, especially during cooler months when growth slows.

Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, especially during cooler months when growth slows.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or leggy stems. Light pinching back of new growth can encourage bushier development.
Pruning is best done in spring before new growth begins or after flowering if applicable.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil. Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season commences.
