Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Pruning can also be done to manage size or improve air circulation within the plant.

Light pruning can be done anytime as needed.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or summer. Seeds may require scarification or soaking to improve germination rates. Cuttings can also be taken from healthy stems and rooted in moist, well-draining potting mix.

Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger with adequate drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and compost.

Repot in spring before new growth begins.
