Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot.

Good drainage is crucial, especially in containers, to avoid fungal issues. Ensure adequate hydration during the active growing season.

Prune after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Light pruning can be done to shape the plant and prevent it from becoming too sprawling.

Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the plant.

Propagate from seed sown in early spring, or take cuttings from semi-hardwood in mid-summer. Seeds require stratification and consistent moisture. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium.

Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention. Ensure good drainage holes.
