Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged stems at any time. Light annual pruning is usually sufficient to manage this shrub.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Use a rooting hormone and provide bottom heat for best results. Seeds can be sown in spring after a period of cold stratification.
Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring as needed. Mature plants prefer to be slightly root-bound and require repotting less frequently. Use a well-draining potting mix.
