Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler, dormant periods.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in container cultivation.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done year-round, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth.

Propagate primarily through seeds, which require scarification and stratification before sowing. Stem cuttings can also be taken from mature plants, but success rates can be variable.

Seeds should be sown in a well-draining seed-starting mix.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants every 2-3 years. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one, using a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring as new growth emerges to minimize stress.
