Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging, as this species is sensitive to consistently wet conditions.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging, as this species is sensitive to consistently wet conditions.
Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning unless necessary for structural correction.
Propagation is typically done from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be placed in a well-draining medium and kept moist.
Repot young plants annually and mature plants every 2-3 years in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
