Water
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings.
Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot, but never let the soil become completely dry.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings.
Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot, but never let the soil become completely dry.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or leggy branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins.
This encourages bushier growth.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil moist and humid, ideally in a propagator or covered with a plastic bag.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one.
