Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering in cooler months, but do not let the soil become completely dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Ensure clean cuts.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds require warm conditions and consistent moisture to germinate.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a humid environment until established.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants every 3-4 years. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball.

Repotting is best done in early spring before the start of active growth.
