Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to prevent overhydration. Ensure good drainage.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best in early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots form, usually within 4-8 weeks.

Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when rootbound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Repotting is best done in spring before the start of the active growing season.
