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

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 slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in humid conditions.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems.
Light pruning can be done anytime, while more significant shaping is best performed in early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Cuttings should be about 10-15 cm long and have at least two nodes. Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep moist and warm.
Rooting typically occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Spring is the ideal time for repotting, just as new growth starts to emerge.
