Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially once established. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Prune to shape and control size, typically after flowering. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain plant health and structure.
