Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry, but avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flower stalks and any dead or damaged stems. Hard pruning is generally not required.
Propagate from seed sown in autumn or early spring. Stem cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist, well-draining soil.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a standard compost mixed with grit.
