Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top centimeter of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid soggy conditions.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth and maintains desired form.

Propagate by seeds or cuttings. Seeds may require stratification and can be slow to germinate.

Cuttings taken in spring or summer root best when placed in moist potting mix and kept in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light.

Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, preferably in spring. Choose a pot one size larger with ample drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost, to ensure aeration and prevent waterlogging.
