Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant winter months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant winter months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back the tips of new shoots to promote branching. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves promptly.
Pruning can be done anytime, but is best in spring before active growth begins.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Cuttings should be 5-10 cm long and can be rooted in moist potting mix or water. Roots typically form within a few weeks. Once established, transplant into a pot.
Repot young plants annually or when root-bound, usually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years.
Use a well-draining potting mix and choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
