Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during warmer months.

Reduce watering in winter when the plant's growth slows down to prevent root rot.

Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or leggy stems as needed. Pinch back the tips of young plants to promote branching.

Heavy pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or early summer, or from stem cuttings taken during the growing season. Seeds germinate best with bottom heat and consistent moisture.

Cuttings root readily in moist potting mix or water.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one.

Ensure good drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
