Water
Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, especially during winter. In hot, dry periods, ensure consistent moisture to prevent wilting.
Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, especially during winter. In hot, dry periods, ensure consistent moisture to prevent wilting.
Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This also helps maintain a desirable shape and encourages vigorous flowering.
Deadhead spent blooms to promote reblooming and prevent seed formation.
Propagate from softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them consistently moist and warm.
Alternatively, divide established clumps in early spring or autumn for new plants.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
Repotting revitalizes the plant and provides fresh nutrients.
