Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically in summer. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent root rot.

Good drainage is essential to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Prune after flowering in late summer or early autumn to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushiness. Remove any dead or leggy stems. Avoid hard pruning into old wood, as it may not regrow.

Light annual trimming is usually sufficient.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or autumn. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix and keep them moist in a warm location. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.

Alternatively, sow seeds in spring under glass.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting compost, such as a sandy loam mix.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
