Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings, especially during warmer months.

Reduce watering frequency in cooler periods to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Pinching back young shoots encourages bushier growth.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or by seed sown in spring. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and planted in a well-draining, moist medium.

Seeds require stratification and consistent warmth for germination. Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
