Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler months or if the plant is dormant.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Pinch back young plants to promote branching.

Light pruning can be done anytime, with heavier pruning best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring. Seeds can be soaked in warm water for 24 hours to improve germination.

Alternatively, cuttings can be taken from healthy stems in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist, well-draining potting mix.

Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, in spring. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, with adequate drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.
