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

Overwatering is a common issue, so err on the side of caution.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy growth. Light pruning can be done anytime, but more significant pruning is best done in late spring after flowering or in early autumn.

Pinching back young plants encourages bushier growth.

Propagate by seeds sown in spring or by stem cuttings taken in late spring or summer. Seeds can be sown directly into pots or trays and kept moist.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium, often requiring bottom heat.

Repot young plants annually in spring as needed, moving them to a slightly larger container. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
