Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in cooler months, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the plant's shape and health. Light pruning can encourage bushier growth if desired.

Propagate from seed sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring, and mature plants less frequently. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogged soil.
