Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering during winter dormancy periods to mimic natural conditions and prevent over-saturation.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the plant's shape and health.

Light pruning can also be done to control size and encourage bushier growth.

Propagate from seeds sown in autumn or spring. Stratification may improve germination rates.

Alternatively, semi-hardwood cuttings can be taken in summer and rooted in a well-draining medium, often requiring bottom heat and high humidity.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, every 3-4 years, or when root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
