Water regularly, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to root rot.

Overwatering is a common issue for this species.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and size. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth.

Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification or soaking before sowing.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining potting mix, kept moist and warm.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil and perlite.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
