Water
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is less actively growing. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is less actively growing. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime to control size.
Heavy pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy shoots, cut them into 10-15 cm lengths, and insert them into moist, well-draining potting mix. Rooting hormone can improve success rates.
Keep cuttings in a warm, humid environment.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.
Water thoroughly after repotting and place in a sheltered location.
