Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Pinching back young shoots can encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning unless necessary.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm location with bright, indirect light until roots form.

Repot your Myrsine annually or every two years, preferably in early spring. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite.

This provides fresh nutrients and space for root growth.
