Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid stagnant conditions, as this plant prefers slightly moist but not saturated soil.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage airflow. Light pruning can also be done after flowering to shape the plant.
Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Select healthy shoots, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a good quality, well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid overwatering issues.
