Water regularly when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done at any time.

For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any suckers from the base.

Propagate from seed, which requires stratification or scarification. Stem cuttings can also be taken in spring or summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium.

Keep consistently moist and warm for best results.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.

Choose a pot one size larger than the current one.
