Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during hot, dry periods.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during hot, dry periods.
Reduce watering in winter when the plant is less actively growing.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems at any time. This helps improve air circulation and overall plant health.
Propagate from semi-ripe cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix. Alternatively, seeds can be sown in autumn or spring.
Keep the soil moist and provide a warm environment for germination.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging.
