Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done throughout the year to maintain desired size and form.

Pinch back young shoots to encourage bushier growth.

Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring, which germinate readily under warm conditions. Cuttings taken in late spring or summer can also be rooted in moist, well-draining potting mix, often requiring bottom heat and high humidity.

Repot young plants annually or biennially in spring, moving them to a slightly larger container. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 2-3 years.

Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for flowering shrubs.
