Water
Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, diseased, or weak stems. For larger specimens, more substantial pruning can be done in late winter before new growth emerges.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm location with bright, indirect light until they root.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to accommodate root growth.
