Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, especially during establishment and dry periods. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter.
Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.
Prune after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done to maintain size and encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, which can reduce flowering.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining propagation mix, keeping them consistently moist and warm. Seed propagation is also possible but may be slower.
Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. For mature plants, top-dressing with fresh compost annually is usually sufficient.
