Propagate the plant through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and provide indirect light until roots develop.Snoeien
Prune the plant to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.Toxiciteit
