Prune lightly after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. Heavy pruning is generally not required, but can be done to manage size. Use clean, sharp tools for best results.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Use a rooting hormone to encourage faster root development. Plant cuttings in a well-draining potting mix and keep them consistently moist and warm.
Repot young plants every 1-2 years, and mature plants every 3-4 years, or when root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
