Water
Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during cooler months or when the plant is dormant.
Ensure good drainage to prevent excess moisture.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during cooler months or when the plant is dormant.
Ensure good drainage to prevent excess moisture.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems.
Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in early spring before new growth emerges to shape the plant.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring or semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification or soaking before sowing.
Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a warm, humid environment until established.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one, with ample drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in early spring.
