Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months or when the plant is dormant.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially for young plants.

Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. This can be done at any time of the year. Heavy pruning is generally not required unless reshaping is necessary.

Use clean, sharp pruning tools to prevent disease transmission.

Propagate from seeds, which require stratification (a period of cold treatment) before sowing. Alternatively, stem cuttings can be taken during the growing season and rooted in moist, well-draining medium.

Patience is key as germination and rooting can be slow.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
