Water
Water thoroughly when the top 5-10 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down significantly.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 5-10 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down significantly.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done any time of year, but heavy pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
Propagate primarily through seeds, which may require scarification or soaking to enhance germination. Stem cuttings can also be attempted, but success rates may vary.
Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy, mature specimens.
Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants every 3-4 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Repotting is best done in spring, just as new growth begins, to allow the plant to establish quickly.
