Water deeply during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in cooler, dormant periods. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Avoid overhead watering, especially in humid conditions, to minimize fungal issues.

Prune sparingly to shape the plant or remove dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stimulate excessive weak growth. Light tip pruning can encourage bushiness.

Best done after flowering to allow for maximum bloom display.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring after a period of cold stratification. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer.

Both methods require excellent drainage and moderate warmth to encourage successful rooting and germination.

Repot only when absolutely necessary, typically every 2-3 years, when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a very well-draining, sandy potting mix. Handle the root ball gently to avoid disturbing the sensitive root system.
