Water thoroughly when the top 5-7 cm of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the dormant season. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly in cooler months when growth slows.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Prune to shape the plant and encourage a more compact form if desired.

Deadheading spent flowers can improve appearance but is not essential for plant health.

Propagate by seed or stem cuttings. Seeds can be sown in spring after a period of stratification (cold treatment). Stem cuttings should be taken in late spring or early summer from healthy, actively growing shoots.

Root cuttings in a well-draining medium.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, every 3-4 years, or when rootbound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball.
