Water
Provide consistent moisture, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler, dormant periods to prevent over-saturation.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Provide consistent moisture, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler, dormant periods to prevent over-saturation.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix and maintain high humidity. Rooting typically occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
