Water
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Reduce watering in winter when growth slows down.
Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing canes. Shorten fruited canes to about 2-3 buds. Thin out excess new growth to encourage airflow and fruit development.
Propagate by tip layering in late summer or autumn. Bend a healthy, flexible shoot down to the ground and bury the tip in moist soil. It will root over winter and can be transplanted the following spring.
Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Mature plants may only need repotting every 3-4 years or when they become root-bound.
