Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage to prevent moisture-related issues.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage to prevent moisture-related issues.
Prune in late autumn or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Minimal pruning is generally required. Lightly trim back to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth if desired.
Remove spent flower stalks to improve appearance.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring or through root cuttings taken in early spring. Seeds may require stratification. Root cuttings are best taken from healthy parent plants and placed in a well-draining medium.
Success rates can vary.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a sandy loam. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
Handle roots gently during repotting.
