Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months to prevent root rot.
Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the plant.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth for successful rooting.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years as needed. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball to avoid overwatering.
