Water
Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months. Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months. Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune to shape and control size, typically after flowering. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This also encourages bushier growth and more blooms.
Hard pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix. Keep in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil. Repotting is best done in early spring before the active growing season starts.
