Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in early spring before new growth emerges.
Propagate primarily through seeds sown in spring. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer and rooted in a well-draining medium. Maintain consistent moisture and warmth for best results.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to accommodate root growth.
