Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but never allow the soil to dry out completely.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken during the spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm until roots develop, which can take several weeks.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.

Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
