Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in winter when growth slows.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in winter when growth slows.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Light pruning can be done in early spring to shape the plant before new growth begins.
Easily propagated from seed sown in autumn or early spring. Can also be propagated by stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds may require a period of cold stratification before germination.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants may only need repotting every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
