Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely dry.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Prune sparingly to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy stems. Light pruning can be done in spring before new growth begins. Avoid heavy pruning, as this species may respond poorly to severe cuts.

Pinching back tips can encourage bushier growth.

Propagation is typically done by seeds sown in spring or summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings can also be taken in spring from semi-hardwood or softwood, but are generally more difficult to root.

Ensure a sterile medium and good humidity for cuttings.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.

Handle roots gently during repotting.
