Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
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 significantly during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged foliage. Lightly trim back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.
Pruning is best done in spring before new growth appears, but can be done lightly throughout the year.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings of about 10-15 cm from healthy stems. Remove the lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep moist until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, typically a peat-based blend with perlite.
Repot in spring before the active growing season.
