Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter to allow the soil to dry out more between waterings. Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter to allow the soil to dry out more between waterings. Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This encourages bushier growth.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Cuttings should be about 10-15 cm long and have at least two nodes. Plant them in moist potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment until they root.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Spring is the best time to repot. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Water lightly after repotting.
