Avoid frequent misting as excessive humidity can cause fungal issues.

For potted plants, ensure that the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new blooms.

Remove dead or damaged branches to promote healthier growth.

Pinch back new growth for a bushy, fuller plant.

Train as a bonsai or let it grow into a lush shrub or tree.
