Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.
Propagate from seed sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining potting mix in a warm environment.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
