Water deeply when the top 5-7 cm of soil is dry. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially in cooler months. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water deeply when the top 5-7 cm of soil is dry. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially in cooler months. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Heavy pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to control size and shape.
Easily propagated from seed sown in spring or early autumn. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer and treated with rooting hormone.
Seeds may require scarification or stratification for better germination.
Repot young plants annually or biennially in spring. Mature plants can be left undisturbed for several years. Choose a well-draining potting mix.
Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
