Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. In hotter months, increase frequency. Reduce watering in cooler periods to prevent waterlogging. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them in a warm, humid environment. Use rooting hormone to improve success rates.
Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, and mature plants every 3-4 years. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one with good drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix.
