Water thoroughly when the top 5-10 cm of soil is dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Ensure good drainage in the pot and the planting location.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the plant's shape and health.

Light pruning can also be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.

Propagate by seeds sown in autumn or spring, or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and planted in a well-draining medium.

Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 3-4 years. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting helps refresh the soil and provides more space for root growth.
