Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is dormant to prevent overwatering.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is dormant to prevent overwatering.
Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or diseased branches, and encourage bushier growth. The best time for pruning is after flowering. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and avoid damaging the plant.
Propagation can be done through stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone to encourage faster root development.
Plant the cuttings in a well-draining potting mix and keep them moist until new growth appears.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring before new growth begins. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and use a well-draining potting mix.
Water thoroughly after repotting.
