Water
Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months to avoid over-saturation.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months to avoid over-saturation.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts and avoid damaging the plant.
Propagation is typically done through semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Maintain consistent moisture and warmth to encourage root development.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to provide adequate space for root growth.
Water thoroughly after repotting.
