Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to keep the soil from completely drying.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially during cooler, wetter periods.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and remove spent flower stalks. Light pruning can encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may reduce the plant's vigor.

Deadheading spent blooms can prevent self-seeding if not desired.

Propagate from seed sown in spring, either indoors or directly outdoors after the last frost. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer from non-flowering shoots.

Ensure cuttings have a node and are planted in well-draining soil.

Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, or add perlite to a standard potting mix.

Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
