Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, which can be detrimental to the plant's health.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage air circulation.

Light pruning can also be done to manage size and promote bushier growth. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium.

Provide bottom heat for faster root development.

Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of potting soil and perlite or sand.

Repot in spring before the active growing season begins to minimize transplant shock.
