Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during warmer months.

Reduce watering significantly in cooler periods to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid issues.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but more substantial shaping is best done in late spring after flowering has finished.

This encourages bushier growth.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or by collecting seeds from mature fruits. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium.

Patience is key for successful germination.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants less frequently, typically when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
