Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out thoroughly between waterings. Overwatering is detrimental and can lead to root rot.

In hotter, drier periods, more frequent watering may be necessary, but always check soil moisture before adding more water.

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

Heavy pruning is usually not necessary and should be avoided to prevent stressing the plant.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.

Repot mature plants only when they become root-bound, typically every 2-3 years. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before new growth begins. Avoid disturbing the roots excessively.
