Watering. It should be done regularly, even daily during the summer, so that the substrate does not dry out before you water it again. It is not possible to mention a specific interval, as it depends on several factors. Atmospheric humidity can be kept high by spraying the plant with water.
In winter, it needs a period of dormancy, so starting with October, watering should be reduced, and the plant should be stored in a cooler space, but with enough light.
In spring, the plant has to be returned to its original place, and watering should be done more often.
Pruning. Shape corrections should be also done in spring, by shortening the lateral shoots to 2-3 knots.

Repotting. It should be done in spring, only when necessary. However, it is recommended to replace the soil on the surface of the pot with a fresh one, every year.
