Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, as this plant prefers consistently moist but not soggy conditions.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler, dormant periods in winter, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more.

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth and maintains a desirable form.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can shock the plant.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, moist medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth to encourage root development.

Seed propagation is also possible but may be slower and less predictable.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, or when root-bound. For mature plants, repot every 3-4 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues. Ensure excellent drainage holes.
