Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage, especially during cooler months when growth slows.

Monitor soil moisture by touch.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best undertaken in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring, but germination can be slow and erratic.

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.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid waterlogging.
