Water deeply when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, especially during winter dormancy.

Reduce watering frequency in cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings to prevent root rot.

Prune lightly after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This encourages denser growth and a more attractive form. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce future flowering.

Propagate from seeds, which may require stratification (a period of cold, moist treatment) to break dormancy. Softwood cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer and treated with rooting hormone.

Young plants may need repotting every 2-3 years in spring. Mature plants generally prefer to be root-bound and do not require frequent repotting.

Choose a well-draining potting mix and a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
