Water
Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent waterlogging.
Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in containers.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent waterlogging.
Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in containers.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or straggly stems to improve air circulation and overall plant health. Heavy pruning is generally not required.
Propagate from seed sown in spring, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification or stratification. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining, moist medium.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
