Water
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Pinch back tips of new shoots to promote branching and a more compact form.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification or stratification to improve germination.
Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining potting mix in a warm, humid environment.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a slightly larger pot. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.
