Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent waterlogged roots.

Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in containers. Aim for consistently moist but not soggy soil.

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This helps maintain plant shape and encourages healthy new growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering and fruiting.

Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds can be sown indoors or directly into the garden after the last frost.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining potting mix.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to provide room for root growth.
