Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, especially for established plants.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this species is drought-tolerant once established.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and size. Remove dead or crossing branches. Hard pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning into old wood, as it may not regrow.

Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer, or by seed sown in autumn or spring. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be placed in well-draining compost and kept moist.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining, gritty compost mix. Established plants generally prefer to be slightly pot-bound and do not require frequent repotting.

Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
