Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Reduce watering during the dormant season.
Remove dead or faded foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Cut back any winter damage to maintain a tidy appearance.
