Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or straggly stems.

Harder pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins to rejuvenate the plant if needed.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seed sown in spring. Cuttings root relatively easily in moist, well-draining compost.

Seeds require stratification and can be sown in a greenhouse or protected environment.

Repot young plants annually in spring into a slightly larger pot. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years, or when root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a loam-based compost with added grit or perlite.
