Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering is preferable to frequent shallow applications.

Reduce watering in late fall as the plant enters dormancy. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can stress the plant.

Prune immediately after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth and improves air circulation.

Avoid heavy pruning in late summer or fall, as it can remove developing flower buds for the following year.

Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Select healthy shoots, dip the base in rooting hormone, and insert into a well-draining medium. Maintain consistent moisture and humidity.

Grafting onto suitable rootstock is also an effective method for cultivar propagation.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when rootbound. Use a well-draining, acidic potting mix. Gently loosen any circling roots. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.

Avoid disturbing the root ball excessively.
