Water
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as this 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 to maintain shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.
Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or by seed sown in spring. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.
Seeds may require stratification before sowing.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring, and more mature plants every 3-4 years. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Repotting provides fresh nutrients and prevents the plant from becoming root-bound.
