Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Allow soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing only enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Allow soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing only enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems. Pruning also helps prevent the plant from becoming too woody and promotes more abundant flowering in the next season.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Allow cuttings to callous for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Keep lightly moist until roots form, then treat as a mature plant.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging.
