Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Trim back stems to encourage bushier growth. Pruning is best done in spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp pruning shears.
Propagate by stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist potting mix.
Cover with a plastic bag to maintain humidity until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring, before the active growing season.
