Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering causes leaf drop.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back new shoots to encourage bushier growth and better fruit production.

Pruning also helps maintain desired size and shape.

Propagate by cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a well-draining potting mix. Cuttings root best in warm, humid conditions. You can also propagate from seeds, but they may not come true to the parent plant.

Patience is key for successful rooting.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one.

Avoid repotting during extreme weather.
