Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing only enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely bone dry.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cooler temperatures.

Prune in early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain the plant's shape and encourage bushier growth. Deadheading spent flowers can also promote further blooms.

Use clean, sharp tools for pruning.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or summer, or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-4 years, or when root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
