Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months but never let the plant completely dry out. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Heavy pruning can be done after flowering to encourage new growth and a more compact form. Remove any suckers that appear from the base of the plant.

Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before active growth begins.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which require consistent warmth and moisture to germinate. Cuttings can also be taken from mature plants, but they can be challenging to root.

Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy, vigorous stems and treated with rooting hormone.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants every 2-3 years, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
