Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. In hotter periods, more frequent watering may be necessary.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as this species typically doesn't respond well to drastic cuts.
Propagate from seed sown in spring or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds require consistent moisture and warmth for germination. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium.
Repot young plants annually or biennially in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, only when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one.
