Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done at any time of year.

For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.

Successfully propagated from seeds or stem cuttings. For cuttings, take semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix.

Seeds can be sown in spring after a period of cold stratification.

Repot young plants annually in spring, while larger, mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Gently loosen any compacted roots before repotting.
