Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth. Pinch back new shoots to maintain a compact form if desired.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogged conditions.
