Water regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil dries slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly in winter when the plant is dormant.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.

Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification or stratification. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept moist.

Young plants benefit from repotting every 1-2 years in spring. Mature plants are less fussy and can be repotted less frequently, or simply top-dressed with fresh soil. Ensure pots have adequate drainage holes.
