Water
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Ensure good drainage in the pot or planting location.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Ensure good drainage in the pot or planting location.
Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to maintain size and encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may reduce flowering.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots form, which can take several weeks.
Repot young plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix. Mature plants may not need frequent repotting.
