Water
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months. Inconsistent watering can stress the plant.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months. Inconsistent watering can stress the plant.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Light pruning can be done at any time, but major pruning is best in early spring before new growth emerges.
Propagate from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems in spring or summer. Plant them in moist potting mix and keep in a warm, humid environment until roots develop, usually within a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Repotting is best done in spring before the main growing season.
